Default Tweaking the throttle on approach

Learn this first with the 172, then work with the bigger stuff.


I don't know if I can trust the sim's default version of the 172. The add-ons
I use have a reputation for extreme accuracy, so I can be reasonably confident
that they do just what the real aircraft does, but I don't know about the 172.
If I can find a reputable add-on C172, maybe I'll get that sometime. That's
the main reason I don't fly the 172 much.

I do have an A36 Bonanza, also by Dreamfleet, but the EHSI isn't Reality XP
(Reality XP is known for its 100% accurate instruments), and the EHSI on the
Baron is. I guess the EHSI wouldn't matter so much for pattern work, though.

Also I figure it's better to get good in a small number of aircraft than
mediocre in a large number, since in real life I probably wouldn't be flying
20 different aircraft, but just two or three at most.
