Plus adjusting the idle screw on a carb takes 20 seconds. No reason not to.

Instructor: Slow down, you're going too fast
Me: Ok (Steps on brakes)
Instructor: Stop using the brakes, take some power out
Me: It's already out
Instructor: Oh

...This usually doesn't work very well on short final

(Of course this is from the same instructor that is always telling me I am too fast on final when he isn't even IN the plane. (And I'm not BTW.))

Your CFI doesn't need to be in the plane anymore than you need an airspeed indicator to tell you're landing fast. That nose wheel hanging below the mains as you level off for the flare is a dead give away....

But keep up the good work, don't stop having fun and STOP staring at the airspeed indicator on final to prove your CFI wrong!
