Andrew,

I used 80, 70, 60 for abeam, base, final in the 172. I tried this a few
times in the 182RG and it works but I ended up using 65 for final to make it
a little easier to keep the nose up at touchdown. As you've no doubt
realized by now, tugging the nose up in the flare on a 182 is quite a bit
different than doing the same on the 172. I also tend to only use 30 deg
flaps to keep it from coming down like a truck.

I've been going over the POH, remembering the various procedures and
settings. But something I've taken for granted in the 172s I've been
flying up until now is missing: power settings for the pattern.

You know: 1800 RPM and 10 on the flaps for midfield downwind, 1500 and 85
kts and descending past the numbers, etc.

So...anyone have numbers to share for a 182 retract? I know that they're
just a framework, but I'm at the point where a framework would be helpful.
