Unhappy

Warriors and C152s. Mostly C152s though. I appreciate that you wouldn't want to do a steep approach. I don't like doing it either as you are <this> close to stalling speed with the horizon about 1/2 to 3/4 the way up the windscreen (that's steep). Therefore when you get to about 100ft, there is a tendency (involuntary) to pitch up... bringing you closer than comfortable to stalling speed.

Of course the simple answer is to do it the long low and slow method. However I've never done this before and would like to hear how others do it (lets say in a 152 or a 172).

Cheers in advance!
