Tks mate, you answered my question, but surely it would make your life easier, and mine too, if it could be published. I am quite sure that Airbus and Boeing have very similar speeds, especially regarding turbulence, which you may or may not have. Having flown in Africa, and having a Vulture injested, I am not keen at all in maintaining 250 kts above 10000' agl, because of windscreen limiitations. It wouldn't be a pretty sight to have a bird that big, hit the winscreen, at"high speed". I know you don't get birds that big in this part of the world generally but even a falcon on the windscreen at 310 kts is like having a brick thrown at you. As you say, if you not happy, then say something, before it all goes pear-shaped. Works both ways. Different airlines have different SOP's , which have to be adhered to, otherwise, it's the walk up the gang-plank.
You Guys do a great job, and thanks for that,even though you have language problems, with the nationalities that fly in this region,so do we, and the restrictions placed on you that us pilots don't even know about.Read the whole forum and all of you seem just a trifle p----d off. You have the "big picture"on your screens, we only have a little one. Be sure, most of us will try our best to do what you want us to do, even if we don't like it. Speed control and standard set up, for the big guys anyway, if adhered to,would help you a lot I think. BIG message, if you can't, say so.
