Do you mean faster airspeed or faster pattern?


Well, with my plane, it's both. Normally I trim for 80 at the numbers, 0 degrees
of flaps, go to 24 degrees on base (which gives me 75 mph), then maybe flaps 40
and 65 mph on final, with touchdown at about 45 mph. Vbg is 83 mph in my plane,
so I would be doing an engine-out landing with 0 degrees of flaps and about 80
mph pretty much all the way, slipping away any excess altitude, with touchdown
at about 60.
