8. "RE: Flaps...."

Ok, here is my two cents worth... when I'm flying a C150/C152/C172 I typically do the following (conditions and traffic permitting, of course):
- When the threshold is 45 degrees off my shoulder I apply carb heat, reduce power to 1500 RPM, raise the nose to slow to Vfe, apply 10 degrees of flap and turn base. This usually sets me up for a nice stable approach and I can add more flap if conditions require.
Good luck and happy landings!
