Stabilized approach? How would you do this

I disliked UK Overhad Joins, but the few times I enjoy them were at Stapleford in T67M on late evenings, barrel roll & dive to crosswind, the slow roll in a Firefly is really slow

Paris/Essex, France/UK, United Kingdom

during my MEP/IR (SEP/IR conversion) earlier this year, we practiced high speed approaches (180kts IAS) until 1mile final… We would do a Touch and go, accelerate to 180kts in the pattern, turn short final at 180kts and then chop the power in the Baron (I was surprised but it is like pulling he handbrake in a twin). 1 notch flaps, gear and a second later full flaps. be stabilised at 250ft at 95kts (final approach speed).
The instructors managed to do it at .7 .8 miles from the threshold. It’s pretty impressive flying if you’re not used to it.

I’m referring to this passage….

Home runway, in central Ontario, Canada, Canada
“is advised that aerobatic manoeuvres will be conducted;”

Advised, did not ask permission. :-)
