as regards pwr for height attitude for airspeed I suggest we listen to EL CID & SKY VAN I defy any of you with new ideas when caught in 3 or 4 hundred ft, a min sink on the approach in a tiddler to apply the attitude for height method it dont work do it.Its horses for courses and those of you who have gone on to bigger a/c and learned different methods should remember that! As for Low&Slow and crosswinds I agree in general terms, but always rember the wing down method requires much more accurate flying abilities than the crabing method.So it it depends on a/c type pilot ability etc.Lets throw this in to the pot who increases airspeed for a crosswind app. and why? I picked an ex RAF a/c yesterday and the FRCs. said for a crosswind increase a/s by 5 kts. Why if the aircraft flys at 70 kts on the app. increasing a/s only increases groundspeed and float during the hold off ops! broken aircraft!!
