The approach for the soft-field landing is similar to the normal approach. The major difference between the two is that a degree of power is used throughout the level-off and touchdown for the soft-field landing so as to control the descent rate all the way to touch down. VS0 should be used.

At my home airport I plan my descents by using landmarks—be at this altitude over the water tower because that will put me at pattern altitude, etc. Next, determine distance for descent.
