(Set up the VOR on the runway track - to give you 10º of lead when the needle moves - as soon as the needle moves, Bank 30º, thrust idle, speed brake out - which gives a good pitch up for the turn in a Westwind - then flap one at 240, flap two at 220, gear at 180 and flap full to cross the fence still at idle and slowing past Vref.)
Full flap and gear down with the power levers at flight idle close to the ground, what could possibly go wrong
