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. Then I would say you are doing it right. A 172 has an approach and landing speed of 60-70 knots while the stall is 40. That ain't landing at stall speed.

It seems to me we are discussing the final approach speed as if that is the speed when the wheels touch the runway. Can we agree that they are quite different?
