Default Upgrading from C172SP to 182S

I think I've also found that the 182 will sink faster in the flare. That
calls for a slightly quicker flair. Some people use a little power in the
flare to slow the sink, and that works. But I prefer to avoid that
because I assume it'll cost me runway length.


Use 55 mph IAS, full flaps and a little power. This results in a slight
nose up attitude. Fly it right into the ground, no flare necessary. On
non paved strips you can lock the brakes. Total runway used is 450 feet.
