Hello Commanderers,
Just thought I'd throw a big "thanks" out to all who responded to my final approach issues & flap settings email. I flew for a bit today and did a few landings. I was able to end up far more stabilized on approach, and hit my target airspeed much easier, by using more flaps earlier. There appeared to be no penalty for going full flaps immediately upon turning final. Also, for kicks, I pushed up the throttles with the flaps all the way out, and the airplane actually started to climb (sort of a flat attitude, it probably wasn't pretty).
Cheers,
/John

John,
How could it not be pretty?
I'm glad you had a good time -- and it's especially nice to know that some of
the advice on this forum gets used and to get the feed back on whether it
worked or was totally useless.
But then again, as I've been taught, "Useless advice is the essence of
friendship."
