When you are number 2 for the runway and you don't want to do a go around because the AI cannot clear the runway fast enough.  Just do slow flight.  This isn't what I would normally do in real life but flying an ILS approach into Walla Walla at 48 knots did the trick.  Stall speed in the landing configuration for the Cardinal is 46 knts.

When I was flying I loved to practice my slow flight.  I would do this in the Piper Warrior which has terrific stall characteristics.  If it stalled it would fall forward, unlike a Cessna which breaks to one side.  But I would sit there stall horn blaring, right on the verg of a stall, but the plane kept flying.  I love physics....
