Landing a warrior

you guys are gonna stall those things.

Why would you stall?

POH says: Short Field take-off @ 25deg flap is accelerate and maintain
44-52KIAS (depending on weight) until clear of obstacle. Can't see how
you can stall at 57Kt and 40 deg flap, especially when landing and
coming into ground effect.

I land the warrior at 80 kts and 2 notches of flaps.. 57 kts..no way.....short
final is suppose to be 65 kts in a warrior II ..


Are you really meaning Kts or mph?

Our 1979 Warrior II says 63Kt at threshold and FULL flap (assuming
little X-Wind). Why use higher speed on landing it can only wear the
tyres out and require more braking on a short runway? More speed and
you float.

The PA28-161 POH I had said Vs0 is 44 kts. 1.3 * 44=57, which is the FAA
recommended speed on final approach. That's exactly what my instructor
insisted on when I was doing the short field landings (on a 1500' runway!).
