Default Approaches by the numbers...

Every plane is different, and each plane will have different power needs depending on the wind velocity. Downwind leg is usually about half throttle. Practice your approaches without actually touching down until you find the right combination of power and throttle chop. You'll soon find yourself making adjustments for different wind speeds.
