With ASI out, use the back-up stall buzzer on final,

On final?
Have you ever really landed an airplane?

Yeah, I use the manuals IAS and InDescent
indicator recommendations, with an eye on
attitude and adjust to the runway numbers,
with the expanding keystone, (the airstrip is
an expanding quadrangle, even in sims).
I'll float down to 37 KIAS alone in a 150 using
the stall horn frequency and amplitude, for fun.

Landing is my fav especially with serious X-wind.
Coming in with 30 deg crab, and waltz the machine
gently over the numbers is like dancing with a
beautiful woman, and then the flare, either way,
it's a rush when it all harmonizes.


Good grief.
