55 seemed awful low to me too (I fly a TR182). It is only
1.1 Vs0 - doable of course if you need to get into 800'
but close to the edge. I aim for 70 on short final and
65 over the threshold, using 15" and full flaps (and the gear!)
on final.


65 base to final slowing to 55 OVER the numbers.

Before I get flamed... yes, I know Vs0 is 39... IAS, not
CAS. CAS is 49. And the wings don't know about IAS,
only CAS.


39 IAS WITH power. 41 CAS/49 IAS power off.
