final VFR approach for PPL training
There two possibilities to instruct a VFR-approach during PPL training:
enter the final, reduce to flight idle, set flaps and try to get the field in a glide without power,
and
start shallow descent (300 - 500 ft/min.) when turning base (basicly, but depending on the pattern) and continue with power until touchdown.
or a mixture of them, say without power until first sole, than the second version.
I hope to start an discussion on this subject.
