Default Re: Maintain (altitude) until established

When I used to fly the Baron I would use that level off to bleed off just enough speed to be in a position to get flaps in. If you time it right you'll be faster.
It's so much easier now flying the Caravan. With VNE and flaps 10 at the same speed of 170, approaches can be flown faster then most jet aircraft. Plus not having to worry bout an inch per minute and trying to stay fast. I hated that in the beginning but got easier with time.
