Thumbs down

Are you implying that a 'controlled, stabilised aproach' can only be done by dragging it in through the weeds?

Ahem. I beg to differ.

Watch any Yak, Chippy, Tiger and many other types being flown by experienced and very competent pilots. You will observe controlled stabilised approaches flown in a manner that is appropriate to the aeroplane, not a manner that is appropriate to a multi-engine jet transport. To them, 3 Degrees was pop group favoured by Prince Charles, and nothing whatever to do with approaches.

Students and low houred guys - beware! Ask a *respected* instructor if you want unbiased advice - preferably one with time on aeroplanes other than Cessnas and other spamcans. Don't take on board this 3 degree crap.

NEVER drag a sl light aircraft in on a shallow approach like this guy is suggesting. It is very bad airmaship and highly dangerous and most inconsiderate to other pilots in the circuit.
