a perusal of kermode (pg192) reminds us that keith has got it nailed

having said that, a landing wt of 120 tons gives us a dist required to descend of about 10 nm more than at 100 tons at the SOP speed of .80/300 - that's where the chosen speed comes into play i guess with these speeds being well above best L/D
