Its been a while since I instructed on the Warrior but 80 kts sounds far too fast for approach in any wind conditions. At medium weights the plane stalls at under 50 kts. The POH says approach at 63 kts, slower for short field if appropriate. I found schools tended to push for 70 kts on final which only makes for deep touchdowns and long rollouts.
