As for me the 172 feels "more stable" (easier to fly) than the 152. But I thought I could join in this thread to ask about what is the "easy landing" speed (I know the "correct" SOP speed) but just wanted to know if my feeling is correct that a slower one makes it easier to make a nicer landing or if it was for example only the weather that made the landing easier) when on the runway threshold for the Cessna 152? Cause I feel like the landing is easier with a lower speed than for example 65 knots on the threshold.
I read somewhere that a good speed was 1,3 x Vs but then I was told that the Cessna as a high wing plane don`t get a strong ground effect during the flare like the low-wing planes get so thats why a higher speed is supposed to make the landing easier. But my personal feeling (that might be completely wrong, cause the weather is different everyday) is that its easier to get a nice landing with a little lower speed than the "correct" speed.
