 === Approach ===
-Due to the small wing area and the high speed of this airplane, early speed reduction is a must.
+* Speed around 80 kts.
-Slowly, reduce throttle to (almost)idle and pitch up to reduce speed without loosing too much altitude. Around 190 kts, start applying flaps (up to the 3rd notch).
-Try to keep a descent rate of 1500~2000 fps and speed around 150 kts.
