What would a typical approach speed be for a landing weight of, say, 430k? I'm just trying to get some estimates here so I can extrapolate for other weights for my flight model since I don't have real references but word of mouth right now.
Thanks!

Normal approach is Vref+5. You think these speeds are LOW!!!! The are probably 20kts+ faster than everyone else.
