I was basing my figures before on a 172 app speed of 65 kts, I guess you could fly it faster or drag it in on the prop, either way is undesirable but as you said possible. I guess with minimal hours picking what the strip should look like at 3deg is pretty important. Though a couple of hours in a Hi-Po piston or basic turbine would solve this too.

Trent out of curriosity what is the ROD for 3deg in the 380 I'd imagine it'd be close to 716ft/min? I'm assuming its about 135kts? Too slow?

3deg is easy once you work out the key number is 318ft/nm. Did my head in before then... idiot.
