Gday Alex,
Visual approach, 10nm from the field, approaching at 90degrees to RWY direction, level 2000', gear at 260kts, decel holding it level thru flap extension all the way to F30 and join left base for a 3nm final.
Doesn't work so well with much tailwind during the decel
Slamer and Ray make very valid points.
Cheers,
Con
P.S I am both a thrill seeker and sucker apparently
