Another “shining example” of exceedingly poor flight training and yet another “erroneous analogy” by the “lame, ineffective and poorly skilled NTSB”! On a runway of only 1840 ft., a Cessna 182 needs to approach at a speed of no more than 80 indicated, touch down in the first 200 ft. or go around! This pilot was not taught to be precise in landing habits from the “get-go”, that’s what caused this accident, not getting it stopped in 300 ft.! It should be “abundantly clear” to anyone that the pilot was accustomed to “approaching hot” and not having his speed “wired” from the beginning of the final approach.
