Default Is a "Go Around" an unfamiliar manoeuvre to a student pilot?

I agree. This accident had all the markings of poor training.


Or insufficient training? (Which amounts to the same.)
The following caught my eye in the official report:

Commander’s Flying Experience:
5 hours (all of which were on type)
Last 90 days - 7 hours
Last 28 days - 4 hours

Are these numbers typical? ( The last line will fit a schedule of one
1-hour lesson per week, the "7 hours in 90 days" sounds too low...)
