What I meant is that the 262 goes full power on one engine, and only does 162 mph, I thought it would be abit more

It said "minimum approach speed" meaning "do this or else!"

There is plenty of capabilitiy for it to go much faster.

Ah, now I see, I thought it said the 262 would go 162mph during landing with 1 engine at full power!

Other thread with single engine 262 film

What it's saying is to keep the speed at least 162mph on approach and gives you a given value for rate of descent with the Gear Down. I haven't tested this but it sounds right given that the 262 doesn't have a lot of excess thrust anyway it relies on being such an aerodynamically clean and efficient airplane to maintain the speed once it's built up.

Take a look at the other thread and watch that single engine film. Hopefully it will help you.

Good luck
