15k/270KIAS (best glide) over the runway on a 30° intercept onto DW (no 45° outside joins here Dick ), then pull the nose up to reduce speed and gear down. 10k abeam the threshold, half way round base 5k/190KIAS, aim 1500ft short of runway and a nice gentle flare to touchdown on the 300m markers...if my memory serves me correctly. Huge fun and all paid for by the taxpayer! "You don't own that plane Bloggs, THE TAXPAYER DOES!!".
