fish Fly 'em like an airliner?

Well do you?

The recent thread on landings seems to have digressed (nicely, I might add) into a discussion on differing philosophies as how to fly a light aircraft.

My simple question is whether a light aircraft can and should be flown like a much larger aircraft? Three degree approaches, cross-country-circuits, and nailing the speed to 'exactly 54 knots', indicates an airliner culture, methinks. Not a 'wrong' culture, but a 'different' one.

T'other camp is far more seat-of-pants than this. It's also where I've set up my tent, to be honest.

Discuss.
