High speed below FL100, why or why not?
Hello all,
What are your opinions with regards to (planning) a high speed descend profile, including high speed below FL100, ie. 330kts till 3000ft? And as well high speed climb, (accelerating at 5000ft or below)....
What are the pro's and con's? I can think of a few myself but i'm curious to what others think. What does your SOP say?
Any documented facts with regards to time saving, fuel economy, airframe stress, bird strike risk etc? Personally I don't like high speed below FL100, during descend nor climb.
