It depends on the aircraft type, landing weight. From a small Saab 340 Turboprop, it lands in the 120 range, CRJ approx. 130-147 range. A 747 expect to be about 140 as well. You can look up aircraft specifications by going thru their operating manual. I'd recommend the book "Flying the big jet". Do a search on amazon.com, it explains a lot about flying heavy airliners that we commonly see daily.

Every landing is different but usually a Boeing 777 lands at a speed of between 250 and 270 Kilometers per hour. In saying that it can vary significantly depending on fuel load and the number of passengers on board. Sometimes we have a safety margin and consequently land at a higher speed if it is windy. Sometimes if the runway is a bit shorter than usual we will do a slower approach to the airport and consequently touchdown at a lower speed.

You can search on line for a copy of the Jeppessen series. It is the flight manual required by the FAA for all pilots/co-pilots to carry when operating an aircraft. The landing speeds typically very depending on incliment weather, holding patterns at particularly busy airports i.e. JFK/BOS/LGA, or everyday traffic inbound versus outbound.

Landing speeds vary with the weight of the aircraft and weather conditions at the time of landing.
Yes, there is a book for each airplane. It is called Pilot's Operating Handbook or POH.

You can download and view the TCDS (type certificate data sheet) for ALL aircraft at www.faa.gov. ALL pertinent information about the aircraft you choose to view including minimum takeoff speeds at normal and maximum weight is contained within the TCDS for each aircraft.

Landing speed=1.3 stall speed at landing configuration (full flaps, slats extended and landing gear down) plus additives usually 5 knots, if there are not gusty winds.

typically 80-140 mph depends on the size of the vessel

The heavier it is the faster it has to go to land.
