For decades the Americans flew the space shuttle with zero landing incidents or accidents, the space shuttle had a high wing loading and a high rate of descent on approach and the landings were hand flown with no incidents.
They did indeed however descending at 10,000 fpm in a light single isn't an ideal precursor to performing a full-stall landing (the original subject of this thread).
Chuck, I imagine that you were trying to contradict my post so why would you refer to an example that validates it?
