Best definition of a CDA by RYR-738-JOCKEY. You may need to add a couple of miles for deceleration. But Post Number Three sums it all up. It doesn't matter if you are in a glass or non glass cockpit... the 3 for 1 rule plus one mile for each 10 knots of speed to lose works like a charm every time whether you are in a 737 or 747. if necessary, just pull out your pocket cray computer and do the math.
Happy aviating folks.
