Well done Geoff!
Vne Placard - Well there's a suprise, it wasn't either the Fractional Undulating Compressability Konstant - Under Pressure effect or Certifiable Operational Compressibility Knot-UP.
Thank god we have you to ask the right people. I guess without this debate we would have all been none the wiser for ever and a day. Much appreciated.
The ventilation thing is interesting too. At least we know.
Floats... I submit!!! What the hell I do on my next line check? I think the answer to that is to tell the check pilot that you said I should not "choose to follow the lead of someone or some organisation that has not taken the trouble to find out why things are the way they are before blithely accepting that because it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck it must be a bloody duck!!"
That should do it. Can't fail.
I'll duck out now, or swan off and leave you in peace.
So, untill the next time...
Oh just one other thing cold you ask your guys when will we have CAT A 'AutoRPM'?

PS Speds, no don't worry not a 139. I know the machine you refer to well, and yes, you are right it's floats system has not misbehaved since.
