Re: Gliding Heavies
Well, on the 737 we do it,in the sim using,first, a speed around LR speed,depending on weight, something around 250-280kts.This would give a longer distance on the ground compared to 210 kts glide.
On the last part of the glide,mostly on final app, you should use 210 kts,with flaps up till landing.No flaps,only gear down bellow 1000'(manual ext).
210 kts will give you around 1200'/min vert speed.Of course there are some dif between classic and NG.
