A “stalled” plane is a landed plane... and a plane well above stall is a bouncing plane. YMMV, but I find landing slow - a few knots above stall, often with stall horn, gets me down with no bounce. My home field is a relatively short runway too.

Caveat: Will add a few knots or subtract a flap notch for gusts.

Nope. We were trained that we had to be able to takeoff immediately upon landing. Conditions on the airfield could change and being back in the air could very well be the safest place.

The approach/landing speed in the Prowler gave us 10-20 knots above stall.
