Power-out spot landing techniques?

The cheezy way to do it is to just dive a bit until the
glideslope flattens a bit and then resume your approach airspeed (although
not cheezy in my aircraft type which is incapable of slips - that's pretty
much my only option). Don't do this on the checkride or even with the CFI
on board - they'll slap you upside the head and with good reason. The much
better way is to use a slip or, if you're sure you have it made, adding
flaps, to accellerate energy dissipation and get you on glideslope without
building up too much airspeed.

What about slowing below best glide, but (obviously {8^) above stall?


If, on the other hand, you're having to hold too low of an airspeed to
keep the landing point from moving up, you don't have enough energy to
make it there and you're going to come up short.

This I don't follow. If the spot is steady, you're going to make the spot
at your current speed (assuming you're holding that speed, of course).
