Outside of the FTU what procedure do you use with respect to the controls and the engine? Just curious on variations from the FTU procedures.

1. Touch and go
2. Balked/overshoot

Cheers

If I understand your question correctly, this depends on the aircraft you're flying and its systems. FTU aircraft are simple and hard to mess up. As you move to more complex aircraft, doing touch and goes becomes more procedures, eventually to the point where you might want to just do land-stop-backtrack-and-gos with appropriate checklists being done.

For high performance GA aircraft:

1) I don,t do touch and go landings. I had a student raise the gear instead of the flaps on a T & G many years ago. The aircraft was wrecked and it counts as an accident for me. Every landing is a full stop taxi back with a full after landing and pretakeoff check done. ( as an aside I tell my students if they touch anything before the aircraft is off the runway I will break their fingers !)

2) Max power flaps 10, gear up when positive rate of climb has been established, climb power after takeoff check through 500 feet AGL or when safely able
