"The 160 knot landing flap limit cited by Ms. Hersman seems low to me, as discussed earlier, perhaps this is not correct."
She went to great pains to emphasize that this was information that came from the pilot interviews. Maybe Asiana has a policy of not selecting flaps until X knots below the limiting speed??? (whatever X may be), and perhaps that is what the pilots were relating to their interviewers.
What she actually said was..... "This information, again, came from the crew interviews. Approach asked them to maintain 180 kts until they were about about 5 miles out. This aircraft has a max 160 kts to put down the landing flaps for their final configuration."
