For the first landing, I stated the calculated 1.5Vso and 1.3Vso speeds.
The instructor again said, "No, no, that's too slow. Use 75 kts."


Was this a busy airport? Was there traffic behind you? I like to slow
to around 75 knots in my Mooney but have been known to use 100. If the
airport is really busy (class B's especially) and you have high speed
turn offs, he might have been suggesting you use a higher speed.
