Croqueteer sez it right.

The Avro Rj is not "landed" at Vref - 7 kts. The landing starts at 50'. There you should have Vref. Then that is bled off till you (ideally) have Vref - 7 kts upon wheel touchdown. This (BAe) method keeps you within the TDZ and you hardly need brakes like this unless flying to LHR (minimal runway occupancy time) or LCY (obviously).

Obviously corrections for wind/icing would be added (max 14 kts).

safe flying
