SpbrezVT I hope you know Northwest 777 is joking. For the Boeing 747-400, the typical landing speed is just a bit below 300 km/h.

It varies with A/C weight, flap setting, temp, humidity, kind of like take off. I think a typical speed is around 120, but a pilot could tell you better. They fly a little over thier v-ref speed which is the stall speed if I remember right.

Don't quote me on this...but generally, a commercial airliner does about 150 knots. Of course, this depends on aircraft type, winds, weight, runway conditions, etc. Maybe someone else could provide a more detailed answer.
