900 hrs in type. If you want to stay on glidepath and touchdown at the aim point you need to cross the threshold at vref, not Vapp, also driving toward the ground and a late roundout seems to work. Our company has a mimimum Vapp of ref+5. Stall prot is usually 11 kts above a normal vref and presents it's own unique challenges. Also like others said, an empty plane is very easy to float.

Like you I was greasing it from 400-700hrs but then decided the aim point, not just the TDZ was more important.
