Important to keep in mind your stall speed increases with more flaps. Improves the safety margin. #BOZEA20

All the horns and buzzers going off would stress me out. Keep them coming! #BOZEA20

Being able to drop in and land short is a skill we should all practice.

Landing too fast has its own problems of course.

But these episodes are inspiring me to to really learn how to get comfortable with a slower, nose-high decent with hands on power just in case.

Can the technique work in a 172? #BoseA20
