The apporach isn't any safer, it's just easier. There's a
difference.

I'm not sure I would say "easier" so much as less busy. The net
result is a pilot ready to land when he gets over the numbers.
Airlines have required this for decades.

Airliners are different. Very different. They're not very speed
stable and they generally ahve more than one engine! There realy is
no comparison and it's this old saw that is usually drug up first
when this argument crops up. The other thing with airliners, though
not so much these days, is spool up times which is not a problem with
small pistons. Less busy, easier, cal it what you like, the
stabilised approach in general aviation has degraded skills.

Yeah, no **** Buttlip, we need to get rid of those electric starters
too. If a guy can't hand prop a plane, he shouldn't be allowed to
leave the pattern.


You allowed to leave rehab yet?
