Another big gotcha is taking full flap too soon! As part of practising PFLs is useful
To note the full flap throttle back descent profile in still air
Only take full flap in any landing phase when assured of landing
If you get it wrong don't be scared to remove that high drag flap portion back to a lift portion
Again an obvious consideration in drag management but one many will ignore and one which is still in our control
