i think they do it just to land 5 to 10 seconds earlier, may be less, they dont try to stabilize the approach by any other means but use flaps to slow down and increase rate of descent due to tight traffic patterns,
i believe such professionals were never taught how things change rapidly with the square of speed
anyway, i wont be flying with such pilots again, thanks to all for valuable opinions
