EDDNR and 172driver are spot on.

I have been asked to do excatly this at SFB and St AUgustine in Florida as a solo student and twice at Ronaldsway in the Isle of Man.

Key things:

1) Watch that airspeed no matter what your configuration
2) Ensure you stay off the final approach path

However it is a terrible chain of events and the RTF from the ADC and APC was not exactly polished. Still they are only human and accidents do happen.
