Default RE: Landing procedure

Let's put that into pilot' language.

You've trimmed for the correct approach speed.

You fly the approach with appropriate power.

You round out over the threshold and fly level with runway.

You reduce power and hold off until the aeroplane settles.



Yep, that, or a variant of that is pretty much what we all do when landing. Of course, I see the point you are trying to make ... that you can "set" the correct approach speed by clever use of the programming.

It sounds like a plan ... so long as you are prepared to adjust the approach speed, and trim for the new speed, when the wind is gusty.

Anyway, it seems to work for you and I guess that the "proof of the pudding is in the eating."

Oh, for a simple air-speed reference.
