For light aircraft, is there any general rule about how far above stall-speed you should be on approach to land? This is assuming no wind/gusting conditions.
For example, the Cherokee probably stalls somewhere in the neighborhood 58MPH with partial flaps. (Yes MPH, this aircraft was built in 1965).
I want to experiment with making slower approaches to land, because I've been using 80MPH, and I still seem to float just a little too much and this generally results in poor landings. How slow can I get this aircraft on final approach, and still be safe???
