NG B737

I fly the NG 737 and it is a bit slicker than aircraft without winglets. It's important to maintain prescribed approach speed and to establish the proper landing attitude. An over flare will cause float particularly if you are carrying excess speed. This seems to be more prevalent in aircraft with winglets but probably is due more to the efficiency of the wing itself which was completely redesigned for th 700/800 aircraft.
