heheh. Chuckle. Well as BEagle is my CFI... - time to own up I guess ...

...only joking

We dont have a problem at our club - and most of our club PPLs are pretty good on these too - despite rather more tarmac available than one would ideally like for teaching landing....

Personally I use 75kts initial app speed @ 2 stages (Pa28) or 70kts 20deg in C152....becoming 65kts (pa28) and 60kts (c152) once full flap has been deployed.

I also insist on accurate speed control. By students and ppls alike. Proper speed control on final at the above speeds is critical to a good landing. I have never used them as Vat figures (as I said above - I use them as full flap approach figures).

I have never had a student or ppl stall on final approach. Not even with the ASI covered(!).

I dont teach higher speeds for more weight - these figures are already based on MAUW as BEagle said.
