Should be noted that the POH/FM landing distances given are calculated from 50 ft above the threshold with the throttle closed. Other than noting this there cannot be a rule with regard to the throttle closed or not. Some types nose weight can be heavy and therefore retaining additional power can help. Certainly in gusty conditions the extra slipstream is invaluable by enhancing the effectiveness of the rudder and elevator for single engine types.
