A tail/NOTAR should both have no problem in forward flight of making any airfield under similar circumstances. There should be no reason to land any faster with a tail rotor.

As for slow airspeeds, in a NOTAR you have to watch it. If you have a complete loss of the NOTAR fan, the manual states two things. One, "Do not attempt flight below 20 kts." Second is "Do not attempt an autorotation from forward flight unless actual engine failure occurs."

Also in a fixed thruster setting, "Use a powered landing, otherwise it is unlikely that an autorotation can be accomplished."
