Re: Landing speed
My instructor has 21,000 hrs. 5000 hrs in conventional gear aircraft. 2 hrs in a 170A. Perhaps I should have settled for the 150.

Landing speed
On a calm day what would be the speed and flap settings you would like to have for a student pilot to land. I have no time in any aircraft. My instructor has no time in a stock 170A.
