The above post says a lot.... I am back to flying the smaller Learjets now (Lear 60XR) and we have a ref of 140 knots which is just a bit over 160 mph. This is our minimum speed on final but we can add a bit to it depending on winds and so on....
The bigger birds have better wings with lift devices that allow them to fly slower in the landing phase... and their size makes them look like they are standing still...
