Don't think this is correct.

What approach speed do you use on short final? I have heard things to
effect of not going too slow and not going too fast. Big help! The
owner suggests an approach at 80 knots. I feel that I could probably
land OK with shorter distances at 75. I often use 65 on a 172M but
from what I read, 65 is too slow for a 1968 177.
