APPROACH
On the downwind leg, adjust power to maintain 110 KIAS to 120 KIAS
with the flaps retracted, about 14” to 15” MP. When opposite the
landing point, reduce power, set flaps to the takeoff position, and
reduce speed to about 90 KIAS, about 13” – 14” MP. On the base leg,
set the flaps to the landing position, and reduce speed to 85 or 90
