I guess this thread sums up all the excuses people use for approaching too fast. I once watched 1,000 airliners land at a major airport. Everyone one of them approached too fast and landed too long. Vref is already 30 percent above stall speed. How much do you need? Since I started flying 35 years ago very single person that has died trying to land at my home airport was trying to land way over Vref. And they all had an excuse. And these were all very experienced pilots. One of them may have been a former Air Force One pilot. These weren't dummies. But they were all (like everyone else) coming in way over Vref. And there will be at least 10 more crashes from coming in over Vref before you hear of a single crash from going too slow on final. Come in as fast as you want guys. It will be job security for the NTSB.
