Cool

dlV, I think you missed the point. You're exactly right on how to carry out a GLIDE approach, we were talking about powered approaches. I would argue with your "cross the fence at 54 knots" though- while it's pretty close to 1.3 Vs (clean), to my mind (and that of my first instructing boss, who's been operating 152s since the early 70s) it doesn't allow enough of a mragin for the 152's high drag in the full flap config.
It's only my opinion, though....
