My Warrior book says 63 knots, but who's counting? Why not full flaps????

I
have a zillion hours instructing in Cherokees/Warriors and I can't

remember
ever teaching a student to use two notches for landing.


The only time to use two notches is (a) in strong cross winds or (b) in
squirrelly high winds.


I used full flaps regardless. It's what I was taught and it always
worked well. OTOH that approach may not be for everyone...At that
time the instructors here used the same as the FAA at the time.."If
yah got 'em, use 'em".

While it's not necessary, two notches give you a flatter, slightly faster
approach that lets you "bust through" the cross wind or wind shear a bit
better than the steeper, slower full-flaps approach...
