As I posted at the start, anyone who actually flies 'recommended' approach speeds will find that there are (on the 73 Classic anyway), weights at which Vref F40+5 triggers the so-called 'alpha-floor' in ARM. However, given that this condition (accurate speeds) is very rare, it normally goes unnoticed.

I once sat next to my Fleet Manager as he flared 'high' in ARM and in came the A/T. It was a graceful flypast of the landing zone.
