Lancair lists the landing roll for a IV at 900 feet. Is that with a "standard approach" or with the 100 knot approach speed. I doubt you could get a IV stopped in 900 feet with a 100 knot approach, even if you touched down at 85-90 knots. So the question is, do IV's really have a dirty stall of 65-67 knots, 73-75 mph? Do Legacy's really have a dirty stall of 58 knots, 67 mph? What do some of the Legacy and IV owners report as their observed dirty stall?

So the question is, do IV's really have a dirty stall of 65-67 knots, 7= 3-75=20 mph?

Do Legacy's really have a dirty stall of 58 knots, 67 mph?

What do some of the Legacy and IV owners report as their observed dirty= =20 stall?
