L1011.
+15 and -5 from Vref.

If correcting, nothing said.
I am a very big believer in the silent FD concept....as much as possible.

However, it should be noted that under some adverse conditions when using autothrust during approach, one will oftentimes see +20 (or more) at 500 agl.
Not normally a problem as the L1011 autothrust is very accurate.
Some new First Officers can be surprised with this, however...when they have seen the 'ole Lockheed three-holer in operation for awhile, it makes a believer out of them.
