Thanks for that link, then. I see those are groundspeeds but hopefully
close enough. Pilot Operating Handbook for the 320 lists 150 knots as
landing airspeed; flightaware's last figure is 153. I'd say he had the
landing dialed in. FWIW, POH also notes that standard descents are done
with engines idling.
