Actually, the most fuel efficient descent would be at min drag speed = green dot in a 'bus.
Are you sure? Green dot doesn't see wind does it?
I think a lot of this 'theory' posted here is being made up on the fly.
Anyway, I'll leave it to the geniuses here to figure out how fast to descend if we didn't have ATC.
I'm more concerned about the use of QAR data and other sources to hang a guy. Any more details on how the 'evidence' was generated and whether it can legally be used in a termination hearing?
Any how this entire issue about flidras is highly dissappointing. Guess a lot of people will now start to think twice about raising an asr (read: giving management permission to look into flidras)
I sure think twice, I'm not as likely to confess to an error that may go unnoticed otherwise.
