Precisely, and where the Ethiopians found themselves immediately prior to the final dive: at Vmo. I wonder what the GPS GS was then...
Just telling you what my FCOM says.
I didn't say anything about "exactly" 250KIAS. 230-270 GPS GS who cares? At least it's not Vmo with full nose down MACS trim while maintaining the UAS "it's safe" memory numbers while your PM comes up with some numbers from the back of the QRH...
I agree. My point is that GPS GS is an invaluable aid while doing that, especially down low on approach or after TO when wind effect is low/known.
dear Captain Bloggs
i started this thread to see what proportion of readers realized that GS is not just useful, but makes UAS.an easy exercise.
You seem to be one of “ the few” believers!
