PPL Ex 13: The FLAPLESS APPROACH

Now this picture of the Hawk 300 has got your attention, I would ask my PPL pilots to review:
1.) PPL: Ex 13: The Flapless Approach - 26 August 2008. The numbers are based on the Cessna 152. The approach speed is 60KIAS to the runway threshold. No increment is added for headwind component. See PPL: Ex 13: The Flapless Approach 26 August 2008 via the index archive in the "green" section at the top right of the page.
2.) PPL: Navigation Ex 18 (viii) (HEADING & CHRONO DISCIPLINE) - 27 August 2008. The importance of maintaining the disciplines of accurate heading and time - HEADING and CHRONO. If an accurate heading is not maintained and the chrono was not started, navigation becomes very haphazard. Check out (again) Colonel Don Blakeslee at PPL: Navigation Ex 18 (viii) 27 August 2008 via the index archive in the "green" section at the top right of the page for more on the effectiveness of a map and a watch. Here is a cutting and his picture from the Daily Telegraph:
