Do you land faster than normal or do you approach faster than normal? At a rough estimate. 99% of the landings I have done have been without fuel. In each case the approach was equal to or above cruise, depending on conditions, but the battle.between gravity and lift was usually lost around the stalling speed, and in ideal circumstances, with the minimum of distance between the wheel and the ground..
