If you can still see it under the nose you can land on it... if you are good!

24OKTS on a 3 degree slope to less than 10 miles and you dont need to sweat it with only putting the power to idle. If you like to use the props as breaks in the air. you can pull it off at inside 5 miles and still make your speeds before 500 feet.

the best is when you land and make the turn off that 172 could not stop at.
