Yes agreed on the different speeds down the approach in the Citation 180 then back to 160 until 4 miles then back to roughly 105/110 vREF.
I must admit on that night not coming back to VREF but using 125 Kts and flying it on.
i wanted the control authority and a bit more speed with the down draughts especially on a long runway like DON
But as stated it peached on more by luck
Taxiing and taking turns crosswind while taxiing was hell taking two of us to hold the controls

also agree on the icing
