As I recall (not having the POH to hand - it was over 30 years ago) at full throttle a 3 degree approach could be done at around 100kts. One then 'flared' and speed slowly bled off until arriving at the secondary runway intersection turned 30 degrees left, throttled back and touched down 2/3 of the way down to taxi in to the hangar. Seemed to cause mild amusement in the tower.
