Lots of useful stuff so far, pick the one that works for you!

Do not confuse approach speed with threashold speed, the two are different.

As a matter of interest a 10% increase in threashold speed will result in a 21% increase in landing distance!

Also, do not 'force' the a/c to land, it will land when there is no lift left to hold it up! This is of course the reason for matching elevator input to rate of sink in the hold off.

Warriors may have nose wheels but you should aim to land on the back two every time.

Lastly there is only ONE correct flap setting for landing, and that is 'landing flap' (MAX in other words!)

Enjoy
