Fuss and bother?

I don't know what all the fuss is about.
Max flap speed in the lance is 109 kts.
The approach speed from the landing chart is 75 kts (what I call "target threshold speed")
Stall speed is 62 kts, and 1.3Vs is 81 kts.

So what is wrong with an approach at 90 kts, slowing to 75 at the threshold?

The POH has accurate data (they would be sued right off the planet if it was not). The POH should take precedence over those "uniquely Australian" old wives tales that are so common.
