i think such threads are a classic at pprune of course, nothing other is expected- many self named +20000hour gents quickly jump in at such threads and report their massive experience.

reading e.g such impressive posts

16 years flying, pistons, turboprops, medium jets (A320), I don't remember ONCE looking at my speed past the threshold.
I try to fly at Vapp/Vref stable until I hear 30/40 feet, thrust idle, flare and let it sit in the TDZ.
truly saves the day.

coming at vref over the threshold with a turboprop and retarding power to idle at 40 ft is a sure way to crash and burn .

the most fun at tech log is reading the 100% of +20000hours ATPL dreamers .

best regards !
