I fly a LCN2 out of a 2600 ft strip. I think that it is not a good idea to tell
someone a speed to fly your approach at in this aircraft. My aircraft weighs 1100
pounds and my landing weight can wary from 1350 to 1850 in the best case at 1350 and
calm wind i might fly final at 90 mph and touch down at 83 worst case 1850 and gusty
id use more like 125 mph touch down at 97. On both approaches the AOA is very close
but what really drives the speed up is the aileron response with a lot of wing fuel.
Also I ve flow lots of lancairs and I can fly identical approaches in two different
320s and have over 20 mph difference in IAS.
