Orange, green or blue rubble, any of these would be a terrible news paper front page.
I think i'm not getting to you, so i'm going to be as plain as I can.
In all of my posts I have discussed possible ways to conduct a flight, but ALWAYS in a safe and fuel efficient way. Of course this includes flying at optimum levels, descending at the correct point, asking for short cuts etc etc.
My main worry is the way that certain approaches are flown.
There are some cases were pilots start to configure the aircraft very far out in order to be established at 500'AGL minimum. (Even though I donīt agree with the 500'AGL criteria in all cases, sometimes it is necesary, asi I said before, weather etc!). But there is no need for configuring 15 NM out at 2000'AGL, it doesn't enhance safety, and yes, it wastes alot of precious fuel, its just a nuisance to everybody else and I don't beleive you will disagree with me in this fact. So if you still want to tell me about leadership, feel free, but you know fully well my ideas carry no risk what so ever.
