You can land a 757 at 119kts but not at 215,000lbs! That's where you're probably going wrong. A good approach speed is 135-140kts and when you hear
the 20ft callout on the flare cut the power and lift the nose to 4 degrees above the horizon with flaps at 30 degrees and you should have about 200fpm
touchdown. I've done 160+ hours in the Posky 757 and that alwas works for me but it's second nature now!
