Lastly, saftey is paramount, 160 to 4d is not.
Hmmm, might be so for some types, but for the L1011 at max landing weight...it might not be fast
enough...
Personally speaking, 4DME is where I usually desire to select landing flaps, not way out in the hinderlands and make more noise.
And no, before you ask, I don't have to answer to the fleet manager...I is it.
