And the normal technique for a glide approach is to use a slightly higher speed on approach for just this reason (plus lack of slipstream effect in a glide gives a reduced elevator effectiveness). Quoting aircraft like the Amphibian 182 and Paces Citation is fine, but certainly low hour PPLs and students (which is where most of the discussion you refer to in your origionaly post comes from) are unlikely to be operating these and techniques used there are IMHO not helpful to those pilots!
