Probably useful to note that in American English, overshoot means to run off the end of the runway. In Canadian English, apparently, overshoot is the same as what American pilots call "going around"... Not sure how "overshoot" came to mean go around, as the words themselves, over and shoot, don't seem to be related to a balked landing by construction. :-) Paul, Cincinnati remote ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:16:42 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: overshoot vs go around From: Dan Bergeron Paul Interesting thing languages - the Canadian "overshoot" meaning "go around" in American English probably originated with the Brits - "circuits and bumps" in Britspeak, and maybe Canadian English as well, is "touch and go" in American English. If I'm wrong someone out there is going to correct me I'm sure. Winston Churchill once famously said: "The English and the Americans are one people, separated by a common language." In a distantly related matter of interest - my French-Canadian grandmother used to say the purest form of the French language spoken on this planet is not spoken in France but in the small towns and villages of eastern Quebec - I must add however that memere left Quebec as a 15-year-old in 1893 - so take that with a grain of salt. Dan Bergeron RV-7A - N307TB 362 hours since first flight on 4th Aug 2009 (and that's the English way of saying "Aug 4, 2009") On Sun, Oct 21, 2012 at 6:15 AM, Paul Millner wrote: > > >> "why the heck didn't I overshoot if I was going to land half way down > the runway?" > > Probably useful to note that in American English, overshoot means to run > off the end of the runway.
