This 172 had a flap extension speed of 85 knots, and my old Cessna 172’s limit was 100 mph, or 87 knots. The first flight got weathered out, with broken clouds at 1,500 feet. Every other plane I’ve seen has had a 2-G limit with flaps extended, if it had a limit. These discrepancies helped me get my head back in the game.

At this late stage, all appeared normal with the aircraft seemingly in the correct profile for landing on runway 19 and telling ATC it was established on the ILS (Instrument Landing System) for runway 19. Poor weather conditions do not appear to be a factor.
