For standard landings, am I the only one who learned (in a C-172) 2100RPM 10
degree flaps on downwind, 1700/20 on base, 1700/30 or 40 on final, cut the
power over the threshold (maybe a little later) ?

My first instructor was a marine. He taught me to go to 1500 rpm
abreast the landing spot and fly the pattern thus, chopping power on
final. When he went off to the airlines, his more traditional
successor taught power-off landings.

No flaps in the Cub.
