Monitoring the plane's basic data readouts via one of the in-flight entertainment channels on landing last month in Melbourne, Australia, at the first hint of touchdown the plane was travelling at 169mph or 272kmh. Taking notes on final approach and then calculating backwards after landing, immediately before touch down I'd estimate it was slowing at about 1mph per second. I didn't keep a record after that - just enjoyed the rapid deceleration and that warm feeling of finally being back home.

The onboard data of a Lufthansa flight indicated 311km/h. Generally it is between 250km/h and 330km/h. Remember that as with take-off, there are many factors that influence the speed eg. wind.
