Default Upgrading from C172SP to 182S

I always made (well attempted at least) full-stall landings with full
flaps. This kept the nose well in the air at touchdown and the 182 had
plenty of elevator to hold the nose up until you decided to lower it or
until the airspeed had bled off substantially.


I was the opposite. Most landings I was coming down full flaps at
minimum speed. I wasn't interested in a squeaker. I always picked a
spot, usually the numbers or two feet past the end of the runway edge
and landed there.
