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.


Right, always full flaps. Renters might not care, but we owners know
who's paying for the rubber (not to mention any broken runway lights
or bent wings).

I usually have two notches of flaps on long final, and add the third
notch over the fence (which usually pitches me up just enough to get
from 70 kias to 63 kias).


All the best,


David
