160-180 kts is too fast. even for a fully loaded 747.

Here is the deal. You would need almost all your flaps in for landing.

I am a real world pilot..but of the General Aviation kind. So take what I am going to say here with a pinch of salt.

My understanding about the jets is, That a Jet engine takes time to spool. So if you come in to land with low power setting (you can land that that way), its not safe, cause, for some reason you want to go around, you push the throttles the engine will not spool in time, so you would cointine sinking and probably touch the runwy. Sp the trick is.. to come in with reasonable power (60% N1? n2?). This would then increase the speed, which you don't want either (you will run out of runway) so you add a lot of drag. (Lots of flaps). This way. You come in with reasonable power and lots of drag and hence slow speed. If you have to go around, its easier (quciker) to remove flaps (drag) while you have the engine already spooled up.

Yes.. this 727, once you stall, you cannot recover (don't know if it real) and hence the crash and burn. IMO, thats the best part of this 727. I love it.  :D

With full flaps, try to maintain 130 kts and (don't go below 120 kts) and land.
