agreed. its one of my gripes about flight school, they rote learn you
to fly x speed on base and y on final. in my case I was told it had to
be 65 kts on final plus or minus nothing. worked half ok with an
instuctor on board, then you try to fly solo, Im not a big guy. Its
just too fast. Having said that I do believe the ground effect plays a
role as well.
