I can appreciate that, Charles. At my home base I'm comfortable flying
an approach to a point 1500 feet before my turnoff (that's in a
Mooney), but on other fields I approach closer to the threshold end
then add enough power to fly 10 feet above the centerline until the
turnoff is close enough to cut the power and enter the flair. I figure,
it's an airplane, I'd rather fly than drive. The other reality for me
is, home base is pretty busy, I like to get out of the way pretty fast.

The highest priority is always safe flying, I think what you're doing
is (marginally) safer than what I do. It's that old truism, isn't it,
about runway behind or altitude above?
