You are right. For a single engine approach, it is a flap 15 landing. The speed is a fair bit faster than say a flap 30 or 40 landing but it also depends on your weight. Generally the Vref speeds for a flap 30 or 40 landing are about 110 to 135knots for weights of 75 000 to 105 000lbs. Landing at flap 15 gives a Vref of between 119 to 150knots for weights of 75 000 to 115 000lbs (higher weights allowed for flap 15 because flap 30/40 have a limits of 108 000lbs).
