I was reading about all these high speed approaches and did some
looking. Lancair advertises the Legacy dirty stall at 67 mph.
Convert to knots, 1.3 x VSO and you get a 76 knot approach speed. The ES
dirty stall is 65 mph, for a 74 knot final approach speed.
I fly my ES at 80 down final without too much float, more that I got with
my Mooney though. Why are the Legacy guys zooming down final?
