How do you teach approach & landing?
I have been teaching students to control speed with elevator and rate of descent with power. A fellow instructor teaches "point and power" and tells me this is what the CAA want?
My club normally teach landing (PA28) with 3 stages (full) flap and at 70mph. Having sent a number of students 1st solo recently I observe that they cope better with 2 stages and a threthold speed of 75mph (long runway). Even airliners regularly land with less than full flap unless of course they have a good operational reason for not doing so like a limiting runway.
A UK instructors reference book I have just read advocates rounding out and then closing the throttle in the hold off phase, others say close the throttle before that.
Obviously different types require different handling techniques but I wonder what peoples general thoughts were?
