it's still a challenge to figure the correct approach speed. too slow or too fast. how evaluate the distance to begin going down. i need more practice specially with the low speed flight, very difficult to keep it leveled. fortunately it's just sim.

Practice slowing down as quickly as possible - pull the throttle off and hold the nose level.

On a Cessna 172, you want to come in at about 70 knots flaps up, 65 knots 20 deg flaps, and 60 knots flaps down.
