There are those that calculate (and calculate...calculate...), and then there are those that just close the taps at 100 nautical miles and point the nose down...and accelerate as necessary.

I do the latter, and it has worked for me in over thirty years in heavy jet transport aircraft.

It ain't rocket science, now is it?
