EDIT. Just read POH, final approach with 30 degrees flap is 60-70knots, no flap is 65-75knots which marries up with what I have observed. The powerpoint slide I was given shows 65knot final with full flap, so that is what I have been practicing. I am now reading more and more into the POH, so more exact figures are being learned.

Aircraft is Cessna 172S, with G1000, but the POH for the 172S with analog instruments shows the same figures.

Side note, when I first started flying, I hated the G1000, now growing to like it. Plus the g1000's are a new aircraft and the one I have had for the last 4 hours (and next 3+ hours) has about 500 hours up (I actually did one hour in it when it was new new). There is a huge difference in the way the new v old feel. The main thing that stands out to me, is the 500 hour aircraft is easier to taxi than the 5000 hour aircraft. Things just seem to respond better! May well be my imagination as I am getting the hours up (probable!)!
