I will just add one small point which is not relevant to student pilots learning to land but it is a misconception that stall speed and landing are part of the same!
It does for the shortest landing with full flap but remember land with partial or even clean and those speeds will increase!
Taking clean speeds they could be fixed at 1.3 times the stall speed in clean configuration but you could make that 1.5 times the stall speed or more!
The biggest restriction for high speed landings is the distance between. Main and nose gear!
Long coupled the nose will be well clear even at high speed.
Short coupled and a much larger chance of doing an all point landing !
It takes skill and fine movements too land fast but it can be done
