I did not slander you all i said is that you are incorrect. In a gist if others read what you wrote they will get a completely incorrect picture of how GS Mini works. The irony of it all ius that some seem to encourage you to do so!

The issue is one where if i understood you well you are confusing Vapp with GS mini. VIAS guarantees the safest minimum speed. On top of that we get GS Mini which compensates for any wind effects by making sure that thrust will not go to idle in cases where we have excess speed especially on short finals. Hence your assumption that you are worse off putting in the tower speed does not make sense. One must appreciate that this system is much better than that on other aircraft. If you have read the blue bulletin you will know why. I will be happy to take up the argument with you elsewhere.
