Default Practice for OSH Arrival NOW, please!

In a previous article, Jay Honeck said:
speed and altitude without raising the nose too high to see. (One
notch of flaps in our Pathfinder keeps things right where they need to
be.)


Funny you should mention that, but last weekend I was in the scenic
pattern at Niagara Falls and there were two Cessnas there as well. To
make sure I didn't run them down or lose sight of them, I also had to slow
the Lance right down to 90 knots and I discovered 1 notch of flaps lowers
the nose enough to see planes at my altitude.

Unfortunately being at 90 knots means I can't do the extreme cross control
maneuvers I often do to get the wing down so my passengers can see, so I
ended up flying a bit wider than the depicted track.
