Practice on Approaches

I got to work more on my approaches. It seems that my trouble with most jets is that I tended to stall the aircraft on final approach because I came in too slow, dip a wing and poke a hole in the ground just yards away from the runway. -_-

Recovery with the keyboard to apply throttle is far too slow to react to the stall.

Just as bad, I overshoot the runway more than once too. Again, slow throttling with the keyboard means that I land in someone's backyard instead of the airport runway instead of going around.

I have most fun with the propeller Cessna 172p on FlightGear though, I can land it from any position in the air onto a runway nicely without any sort of problem at all, even in crosswinds.
