I went on from flying business jets to light aircraft for a living (which is best thing I ever did!) and it took me a while to get used to the Vapp/Vref some 40-50 knots slower. When I re-validate my MEP/IR SP, the examiner insisted I fly the entire instrument approach at just a few knots over Vref! I have gone back to flying the approach at about 130knots and just slowing down to Vref about a mile out.
