What I usually do is I stay at pattern altitude, extend my downing ever so slightly, as soon as I turn final, I lower my final notch of flaps, take out the power, and slip to the runway.

I fly a Cessna 152

It’s for the checkride.

How would you correct for the misinformation of the ASI?

So further back?

Off checklist, recommended approach speed.

Fair point

True, I’ll give that a shot.

I try to aim at my approach speed and usually close the throttle on final. I usually aim for roughly the threshold of the runway.

I’ve been working on forward slip landings for a little bit and can’t seem to get the plane to consistently/reliably land within 400 feet past aiming point (beginning of first stripe). Most of the time, I would end up floating past my point past 400 feet. I know practice makes perfect and all...

Would be nice if there could be a similar priced four seater that when there is nobody in the back, have the seats folded/taken out and used as extended baggage space.

lol I guess something like that. Just put seats in the baggage area and split the connection to the headsets, put some windows, O-320, and problem solved!

It's just that awkward situation where you usually have a two seater but there might be that one day where an extra two people come along. I mean sure you could rent, but why when you already have a plane?

Maybe not even an lsa. Just any plane that is sold in that price range.

How hard would it be to convert a two seater lsa to a four seater, out of curiosity? Becuase we shouldn't pay an extra $30000 to get two extra seats.
