My CFI (CAA Examiner) insists on nailing 75knts final approach.
Every UK instructor I have flown with insists on 75kts approach speed too.
Anyway, doesn't make much difference, its what you do with it at the end that counts. When or if you progress to instruments, you'll fly the ILS at 100kts or (possibly 90 depending) with one stage of flap, pop out at minimums, wack in all the flap and touch down just as nicely.
