Nice explanation of the GS-mini, but, non beeing a Bus pilot, I would like to know why was it necessary to install that on the bus, and why other manufacturers didn't use it?
What would be the difference between A and B ,on the same approach,besides the higher target speed (due to gust )?
I know that Boeing has a feature in the AT which allows the speed to increase ,and not correct it very fast ,and has faster reaction in case of speed decrease. Is this a different way to handle gusts?
From your explanation I tend to believe that a classic plane may not be safe to fly during gusty wind, which is not the case,I think.
