Are we not talking of a maximum performance landing here? Your approach speed is generally Vs x 1.3 (ie, you adjust your approach speed so that is corresponds with your actual weight!) and you use the technique as set out in your aircraft's manual.

PFL's are different. With these we are learning how to live and as long as we walk away it from one. If the plane can be used again, we have done brilliantly!
