QotM
====

How much does a change in aircraft weight affect stall speed? For example,
if an aircraft with a maximum gross weight of 2,000 pounds stalls at 50
knots, how much would stall speed change (and in what direction) if it
were at an actual weight of 1,800 pounds?


Scenario
========

Every instrument pilot ends up here sooner or later: You thought there was
time to slow down before the go downand it didnt work out. Now youre
behind the eight-ball and above the V-speeds to get stuff out and slow
down. Is there a sure way to fix this thats not salvaging an already
unstable approach?
