Flap 45 is a normal landing flap setting. Only real limit is flap limit speed (145kts).
Now our normal setting for landing is 22 but this is a fuel saving measure. Has a slightly higher nose attitude, lower thrust setting and an extra few knots on the speed. Always check performance though!! Wouldn't want a .

The bottom line is Vref at 50 feet smooth thrust reduction and speed will decay maybe -5kts in the flare and down in the touchdown zone. If you want to about, buy your own barbie or do it in the sim if you are so good you have some spare time left.

You'll have to fly like a real to hit the tail on the jungle jet.
