Some years ago we were taught 70/65knots in the 152 on 700ish metre tarmac, I believe, for safety? This practice was trodden on by the CFI after a while but several students had learned to fly using this method for some time. It is still quite amusing entertainment to watch the wheelbarrowing antics, though it does lead me to worry about flying the 172, am I going to bounce all the way down the runway or are 172s really that bad?
Also during gliding years ago it seemed to be +5 for the wind shear +another 5 for the wife & kids & you ended up heading for the far end at an alarming rate & had to stuff the nose skid into the ground before reaching the workshops.
