The CJ is sufficiently easy to fly in the various configurations that it baffles me why people don't just do what the designers and factory test pilots intended you to do. The reason for going full flap before you touch down is - as was briefly mentioned a bunch of posts ago - because that is the only way to "arm" the lift dump that you need after you have landed.

You are already dealing with an engine failure. Why turn an incident into an emergency by using a non-standard configuration for the landing?
