The landing will be with Flaps 20 and Vref 30 + 20 selected in the FMC.
The app speed for F20 is for normal landing weights about the same as Vref 30 + 20. The difference is that all manoeuvring speeds are 20 kts higher to compensate for the loss of control.

Landing with F20 is also less demanding on the trim capacity.
