We climb @ 250Kt to FL080(Bird impact limitation)(FL100 in class A&B Airspace) then accelerate to 280Kts and continue@ this speed until we reach M0.6 usually around FL190. On a sector distance of 250nm we fly @ FL230.
Climbing in this way with a tailwind generally results in a parabolic situation where the TOC = TOD, or very close to it, therefore giving the best possible fuel economy for the overall flight. So now given this set of data how would you manage the climb in relation to speeds/performance and why.?
