Misuse of hot air control looks like being the primary cause, but what about that approach profile for a SEP? 4nm? Long, low...
Don't today's flying instructors know that hot air needs to be applied for quite a long time be effective, and should only be de-selected on short final in case a late go-around is called for? Or de-selected with power application in the event of an earlier go-around? Otherwise it should be ON in the circuit!
Whack on the hot air, wait a few seconds, whack it off... You probably make matters worse by doing that!
And those bomber approaches. ...Why?
We're not flying an airliner on an instrument approach - it's a light single in VFR! Keep it tight! Keep your height as long as you can!
