Back to topic,
Bring back/bring on RNP AR approaches with 500’ final leg turns and stop the 185 kts at BETSO 4000 etc. That, combined with abolishing level descent segments at 9000 and 3000 ft, would save tonnes of fuel and many sleepless nights for residents.
Thrust up approaching 1000’ on final is still mighty conservative!
The morons who designed theses approaches and ATC unions who insists on these lazy approaches are burning more CO2 than any SAF will save. Seeing pilots dragging their aircraft in from 20nm with flaps and thrust, pull my eyes out ffs.
40 years in the industry and I’m dismayed we are flying like a bunch of carbon burning zombies.
