Flaps will allow you to come in slower as the give you increased lift at a slower ground speed. The key thing to remember is that no airplane will stall if the nose is below the horizon or the wings center of lift. If you can see any of the top of the wing, it won't stall! When on the downwind approach with flaps you find the speed thats comfortable to easily maintain altitude and controllability. When on final you use the throttle to maintain you rate of descent. Less throttle to come down faster, more throttle to slow the rate of ascent. Dont start chasing the altitude with elevator, but use the throttle! The ailerons are used to keep the wings level only and the rudder to maintain course and alignment on the runway. This all can be practiced at altitude with a simulated landing approach. When you are landing hold the slightly nose down atitude until about 6 to 8 foot from the ground, then slowly pull the throttle back to idle and flair slowly as yuu get closer to the ground. You should be at idle when you make the final flair. If you do decide to go around, dont push the throttle full forward in an abrupt response. It may cause a danderous nose high condition. Push the throttle forward carefully and manage your pitch. When you have reached a safe speed and attitude then you start slowly raising your flaps. I really think when you are proficient with the flaps you won't fly without them.
