Not quite the same but...

... the comparison has been made to the B757 by others. Empty positioning on the B757 would normally see a Vref of about 110Kts, so if speeds are anything like similar, a touchdown at 141Kts would seem a little extreme. And yes - the B757 can be a bit of a hand full when empty - she just loves to fly. The secret seems to be to fly through the normal 20ft flare for half a second or so longer.

We are talking different a/c and wings here though, and I am not familiar with the T204.
