please remember that I said it might be harder off an ILS to see the runway...the nose is upp a bit more

and that flaps 25 on the 757...I know a guy who did that and ended up pranging the tail

so...good luck brave airman...don't float, panic and pushover too much...but don't hold off too much and prang the tail

there is wisdom in knowing how much wind affects your plane at particular airports too and if the annemometer is mounted at a non standard height...knowing how the trees, buildings etc can suddenly blank the wind is worthwhile too
