Never say never or nobody
NOBODY believes that 1500 to 2000 fpm is within "SENSIBLE" limits during the final stages of an approach
I wonder what profile the US Space Shuttle uses?
Landing config & on speed with power stable at 500' is all I think we should be getting excited about. You should know by 30, 20 or 10 nm if you are going to make it.
In the p**sing contest of conservatism equals safety, some are moving this gate further and further up the profile, I believe the A330 has to be stable at 2000'. What a joke, even the conservative manufacturer uses 1000'. Friends in HK ask why we fly sooo slowly - I wonder when this rot will end?
