For those of you who do use short grass runways, what flap setting & other techniques do YOU use?
It really depends on a number of factors. But as a general rule in my 150, when I'm solo, I'll use an approach speed of 60 mph, and 30 degree flap, especially when it's a little boisterous. When 2-up/plenty of fuel, I'll often use 40 degree flap, especially on calmer days, and with little headwind. Strip length is 450 metres.....more of an issue in getting out, than getting in.

Thanks for the tip....until now I've been dumping the carb heat at 200ft agl. Won't be doing that anymore!!
