The other point worth considering is the rough and ready 1.3 Xs the stall in a given configuration.
That is drummed into pilots as the approach and landing VREF which is not actually accurate. 1.1 1,2 1.3 1.4 1.5 they are all just numbers as is the principal idea that an aircraft has to land at or near the stall. It can be landed way above the stall if your not worried on published stopping distances

The AOA will give you a much more realistic picture
