When operating TriStar equipment into limiting airfields with shorter runways and gusty wind conditions, I generally used autothrottle, with the speed set at Vref.
On final at 500agl, it was not unusual to see the airspeed at Vref+25, but crossing the threshold, the speed was Vref+5, nearly every time.
In fact, this is a Lockheed recommended procedure...and it worked good.
Of course, the TriStar was designed as a CATIII aircraft from the outset, so the autothrottle was very accurate.
