Carl, I would stick with 70kt on the whole approach with a
bit of power on, letting it decay to 60 just as you go
over the hedge and chopping the power as you touch down.
Forget speed at round out, just concentrate on getting
the round out right and the speed looks after itself. 450m
should be plenty, as long as there are no significant
obstructions on approach. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
