Thanks for your experience and input everyone, i will indeed ask my instructor but just wanted to ask here as I wont be flying for a few weeks due to a bad back

I have always (5 instructors at EMA - lol and Phoenix) been tought to turn final at 65-70kts with 20 degrees and maintain that. Nethers added 30 degrees into the mix with a 5kt decelleration and higher glide slope. I have actually heard the CFI at SAC over the radio to Solo students telling them to nail 55kts with 30 Degrees and i find that a little close for comfort, especially with the sink just before the farm at 24!

Either way im loving the new challenges this place is giving me, i cant wait to solo it a few times. I just find the the manual flap toggle switch in the 150A's a pain in the ass being used to the 152 pre-selectors. That would make the Touch & Go's a touch easier
