Just a thought: there's no reason to fly a "stabilized" approach in a
piston engine airplane, that is a jet concept developed for the slow
power response of the early jets.

Good point, however it was Jay's valiant attempt at flying a
stabilized approach that clearly illustrated to him that a landing
wasn't a good idea. (That's not to say that he wouldn't have come to
the same conclusion had he dropped it in.)

It's much easier to accurately size up the situation during a
stabilized approach. Of course, I cut my teeth (and a few other
things!) on 727s so YMMV.
