What is especially frustrating is flying across the Bight at max chickens for 3.5 hours to then be required to “reduce speed to cross BVRLY at XX” - we’ve got ADSB/CPDLC - you can see where we are and what we’re doing...
And what about the other 20 aircraft trying the same thing, Joseph? Why should we clear out of your way just so you don't have to change speed?
I fly what would be considered a modern aircraft and the FMS has no function to readily assist with achieving these requirements - in fact, it actually throws you under the bus because the FMS displayed estimated time over a waypoint is usually about 3-4 mins later than the time you actually end up flying over it - the discrepancy appears to magically fix itself when you’ve got about 3-4 mins to run and no chance to fix it.
Don't blame the system for your inadequacies. COBTs/Feederfix times work just fine where I sit, and I don't even have decimal minutes displayed on my FMS ETOs.
