-Bank angle (= higher angle of attack as the nose is pitched up trying to maintain altitude and/or tighten turn radius. Also, increased G loads increase stall speed.)
-Sink rate (= higher angle of attack as the relative wind shifts from the leading edge of the wing more towards the underside of the wing.)
Be especially careful of your bank angle & sink rate while turning from base to final. Don't get too agressive trying to line up on the runway & PAPI.
I'm a CS 727 "newbie," but I like Ops Manual Appendix 1 Vref's & minimum maneuvering speeds. I use that as a flap schedule more or less, I like to end up around 140 kts with flaps 30 deg on final. Floats a little though, & I'm still horsing the throttles a bit to keep glidepath as I'm learning the "feel.."

u will float...140 just a bit to fast for the 727 200 adv...130 135 depending on conditions
