What on earth is wrong with Dave Unwn's statement. 1.3 x Vs1 for a final approach speed is ridiculous in any VLA or three axis microlight that I have flown. That extends to a Nipper or a Turbulent. There a insufficient margin over the stall and such light aircraft are badly affected by wind gradient or gusts. Dave's advice is excellent IMHO.
