C-172

Ok, I do not stare at the air speed indicator once the flair is started but with full flaps extended I am sure my IAS is way above 40 knots!!! I try for around 55-60 IAS on final with full flaps and a tiny little bit of power.

A 172 has an approach and landing speed of 60-70 knots while the stall is 40. That ain't landing at stall speed.
