Reference light aircraft - Don't know why people 'stabilise' the min approach speed so far out thus exposing themselves to 'stall' incidents. IMHO, Yer only need that min speed seconds before touchdown.
Agree. RAAF training post war was the approach was standard profile until 300 feet then deliberately reduce speed to planned figure for precautionary landing ie about 10 knots below normal approach speed.
