Well, there you go then. Don't carry any extra speed. I'd hate you to have an accident!

An extra 5-10 kts would likely have got the 038 on to the runway, is all.

My point is simply that Ref+5 is great at 500' -and you need to make it so, because nowadays you're not trusted to slow down any later.

But why at 4 miles? I mean -are you going to land out there?

(Biggest I've flown is MTOW 48000kg. Small to a Jumbo.)

Just a wee edit to add that we can be at Vref+19 at 500' and still be officially 'stable'.
