I agree!!
I remember an ocassion a couple of years ago, returning to Hong Kong from Japan with an ampty cargo B747-200, very, very light, the winds were from the north, over the hills, quite gusty they were as I remember, we were doing an approach to the IGS Rwy13, as we got close to the initial turning point of the IGS, doing approx. the correct approach, I noticed the pilot flying was having to use FULL aileron travel (thatīs with spoilers as well, on the ī74) and then wait for the roll to result, we sped up a little, as I remember it, it made me so much happier! I will always remember that, Vref plus some, when totally empty and windy, for me!!
