as what my instructor always tells me, never let the stall horn tab go off when ur landing.

@marcdadrummer well i suggest you get a new instructor then. either that, or make sure you're understanding correctly.  it's completely normal to have the stall warning horn going off during the flare. you are well above an actual stall when the horn goes off, and it's normal to have a "full stall" landing. now stall warning horn on approach... that's another story.

Nice landing :-)

@marcdadrummer stalling means the wings are no longer creating lift. That is the idea when u want to land instead of flying the plane into the runway.

Not bad. I always use 90kts in the traffic patterns...abeam my touch down point on the downwind (1000' Markers) I reduce throttle to idle and 10 degree flaps maintain 85kts. Turn left or right to base...20 degrees flaps...and 75 kts...on final...65kts and 30 flaps (depending on strength of headwind).

tried working on these today...low each time as i'm trying to make the transition from warrior to arrow. the arrow sinks like a champ! great landing and thanks!

The wind plays a big factor. Try practicing on both windy and calm days. Ya never know what you'll get on the checkride. Adjust your turn to base early for headwinds on final.
