Forgive my earlier posts on the subject, but it was my understanding that stalling was the consideration, and not flightpath control, i.e. increasing power rather than reducing the angle of attack?
I believe that we're all in agreement here; there's a difference between 'point and power' as opposed to 'power for ROD'. It is of course important to maintain the correct 'approach path'; albeit in a simple single engine or a heavy multi. The difference being, of course, is that if you're very high (in a simple single), and all you have is a visual reference, you cannot maintain the speed and increase the ROD (to the same aiming point)! Actually, in some of my experiences in a heavy B747, you can't do that either... unless you wish to prematurely hit the ground with idle power! The vital part is assessing whether or not it's 'do-able' within the distance remaining!
Actually, this is a great topic for discussion, but not in a closed forum; because all of us need to be adequately understood (and we're mostly missunderstood within this forum), which cannot be easily undertaken by typing words into a little box... I'll probably be berated for my short missives! However, keep your thoughts coming... they're ALL interesting, and, all have their merits.
