We still talk of stalling it on or being just above the stall as if this was a requisite of landing an aircraft? It maybe the norm and I don't dispute that but an aircraft can be flown on!
At or near the stall will obviously use up less of the runway as long as you hit the numbers but there are conditions where you really do not want to be in the air near the stall!
I gave a ridiculous but real situation where a pilot landed a Citation with a radar determined landing speed of 200 KTS when it's normal VREF was 105 KTS
They remained on the runway intact at Edinburgh
Ok ridiculous situation to make a point but one which disaccociates the idea of at or near the stall as the only way to land an aircraft
