An 'umble question
I've oft been known to stick my foot in my mouth - and this is no exception:
Assuming (we all know what that means) that one has a choice of speeds at which to touch down off-runway, would you not prefer to do so in a minimum energy state, rather than at Vref? In other words (to quote my father, a WWII F/I) run out of airspeed and altitude at the same time?
Granted - there is a technique to doing so, best practiced more than a few times on the aircraft in question.
Purely hypothetical, no flames please.
