Did Troy mention anything about the new wing degrading his takeoff and climbout performance? If not, it's a non issue. On a go-around you'll be operating at the same speeds as a takeoff and climbout. As a side note, I made a landing last week where I wasn't trying to land short, just a normal landing. I was even a bit high on approach and probably 5+ mph fast on the flare. I used moderate braking at the end of the rollout. I asked the tower what the distance to the turnoff was and they replied 1700 feet. I was using my speed brake as always. Larry Flesner
