An approach (landing) speed is determined by the type of plane, weight, weather and the condition of the runway. A heavy 747-400 might have a landing speed of 160 KIAS (knots indicated air speed) or about 185 mph.

How fast do planes fly when landing?

The speed depends on the aircraft type and also on the weight of the aircraft. The more load it is carrying, the faster it needs to travel to land safely. An airliner will be travelling at 120mph or faster as it lands. A 747 will usually be moving faster than a smaller passenger plane - in the region of 150mph or more. Concorde, designed for extreme speed needs to be travelling faster still. the design that helps it travel so fast also means that it needs to land at higher speeds than all other airliners. Light aircraft will typically be landing at a speed of below 100mph.
