I guess that in excess of 90% of my landings are made off glide approaches. Pull the power abeam the numbers, when the ASI hits 90mph start a continuous turn to final. When perpendicular to the strip, wings level and "belly check", assess height and carry on with the turn.

If I need to add power, I add a lot and as early as I can, then slip off any excess height whilst aiming to touch down on the numbers.

Why do I do this? Cos one day the donk might stop!
