I have been spending some time at my local licensed airfield drinking tea and watching the landings. I would say that a lot of the approaches are much too fast, so adding even more speed would be a really bad idea. I was talking to one pilot after who was saying he had been told to approach at 75kn. I used to own an identical aircraft and the correct speed was 65kn. Why keep adding more and more speed?
