The saga continues.
It really surprises me that seemingly experienced pilots have not noted a difference in aircraft behavior depending on:

-sharklets----float
-2 knots on top of Vapp---float
-tailwind---float

It surprises me more that people focus on the rate of descent in a tailwind. With a 2 knot tailwind there is hardly any difference. But you WILL float if you do not adapt your technique.
