Genghis we did get a POH to read,we are also taught 80mph up to flare,then reduce power,then throttle off at hold off before landing.
I tend to use slightly lower speeds,ie around 75mph and was told it was Ok if it felt right for me.
And I reckon I had some of the best instructors going!
Saab Dastard,it was an uphill runway,07 at Old Buck,the slope does play tricks on the eye but I never thought of that implication before.
