Conversion to type. Instructor-"70 knts on final". Me-"55 would be better". Instructor-"No, 70 knts, 65 over the numbers". Resulting float with help from ground effect eats up the runway to the point where a go-around is prudent. Aircraft in landing configuration stalls at 34 knots.

No doubt we'd have landed ok with 1500mtrs of tarmac but not the 500mtrs of wet grass that we had to play with. No mention in this thread of hard/grass/short/long.
