As the Cessna 152 and Cessna 172 POH states under the Normal Procedures Section: "Normal landing approaches can be made with power-on or power-off with any flap setting desired". Just like Tiger Moth and Chippie days.
I would be surprised if it said that in the Tiger POH as it didnt have any flaps!

"Normal" doesnt mean that it is the most desirable. The power setting and flap setting should be based on the approach and airfield.

I made a flapless powered approach and landing into Heathrow at 120 knots once in a Cessna 172 but I might think twice about doing the same type of approach into Netherthorpe.
