Yes that is correct. My apologies. I have also found out that in the times I mushed, I only had to raise the nose a little bit. For an example on the old 172, for a short field approach I use 65 mph, on final, and if a little too high, I would not get slower than 60, and it works perfectly. But like I said before, I believe that it takes a great deal of skill and confidence to do this when you are so low and slow.
