I think Mr Jarse's point is that 490kts "point to point" is impossible. Anyone that thinks it is consistently possible into Sydney must be kidding themselves. You would have to average that groundspeed including climb, descent and approach - I don't think so.

As for trying to set a record by using it as a benchmark - I think it might be safer to catch the train.
