I appreciate your experience and types flown and would agree with your 99% full flap to land with something like the Citation which I fly but would reverse that on something like the Seneca where it was a rare occasion to take full flap!

In the case of the Citation and jet engines drag is added to bring speeds back to VREF on what is quite a slippery airframe while holding a fairly constant thrust setting.

so there has to be an element of type specific but the principal of a stabilised approach hold across the spectrum
