I wonder what's included in that calculation.

My employer does...
Three weeks classroom: 15 days @ 8h = 120h
11 simulator sessions (incl. CPT) @ 4h = 44h
Perhaps include Sim Briefings/Debriefings: 10 @ 2.5h = 25h
Line training: minimum 40 sectors @ at least 1h = 40h

Total 'formal training' here is well over 200h.
------------------------------------------

At 26t landing mass, VREF would be 121kt for a Flap 15 landing.
That is hardly relavent though, with Flap 5 selected on approach the minimum speed is 147kt (VREF137+10), or 157kt with the INCR REF Sw. selected ON. These are UK speeds, v slightly different in N.America.
