The way I see it is to teach the procedure set by the people who built the airplane, then as conditions warrent deviate from that set procedure. If you continue on to CFI or into the airlines/corporate what will you do reagarding the use of flaps?
Its just how I land. If im landing on a runway 4000 feet of more i like to use 20 degrees with some power..makes for a smooth landing. Im not a big fan of "diving" for the runway to a full stall like i was taught. Just because 30 is recomended doesnt mean i have to fly that way.
