and drop that third notch of flaps !!!!!!

Flaps with engine-out emergency landing ????????



Yeah, I've pondered that. I was too high, so I dropped the third notch --
which on my plane we NEVER do, when landing with power, unless we're going a
short-field landing.

Next time, I'll stick with two notches and land long(er)...


That's one reason I always land without power and with full flaps in
normal wind conditions. That way if (when?) I have an engine failure
and have to do it for real, it won't be a surprise. I've yet to fly an
airplane that won't flare just fine without power, with full flaps and
at the minimum airspeed recommended for approach in the POH.
