I'm currently converting Justiciar in his Eagle and we are turning final (power off) at 100mph, holding it at that speed until above the numbers, then he is alowed to raise the nose and commence the flare.
The approach speed is just a number but it seems to cause a psychological trauma: what a hundred miles an hour - that's fast! Our last landing was wind<5kts, a whole hundred miles an hour and we were down and stopped in 180m.
Great aeroplanes!!
