Misd-Agin. thanks for the info. Sound like the fmc data is true minimum drag speed, in which case holding at said speed seems likely quite a handful.

Do the fmc holding speeds (I presume they are in KIAS) increase with altitude? This would make sense as minimum drag KCAS is also expected to increase with altitude.
