Neat! I didn't know that they could do that. In that situation, trim
is
your friend. Set the trim where it is supposed to be and fly the trimmed
speed
by feel, and you won't go far wrong. The view out the front is also
important,
keep the horizon in the right place and your airspeed will be correct.

Did your CFI ever have you land with a covered ASI? My primary CFI was
always covering something.


I wouldn't use your trim procedure. There is a big difference in trim
settings with the 182 depending on loading. Solo you may need almost
full up trim for a normal approach...with the folks in the rear seat a
neutral trim setting will work pretty well.

Just put the nose where it's supposed to be...that works regardless of
load.
