Select VREF 40
Maintain 200-300fpm rate of descent until the start of the flare.
approach speed is different from touchdown speed.
By the time you flare and touchdown, how much speed will you wash off and what will be your rate of decent at touchdown.
My guess speed a lot slower than VREF 40 and decent a lot less that 200-300fpm.
