The postings this evening seem to be a sales pitch for the Airbus.

In my first post, I pointed out that the concept of a minimum acceptable ground speed was not invented by Airbus, as far as I know. If by explaining roughly how their GS-mini works – in the face of familiar anti-Airbus sentiment from one or two Boeing advocates – I have shown Airbuses in a favourable light, so be it.

See what I mean?

Horses for courses, but transferring techniques between types simply doesn't seem sensible to me.

I agree as a general rule. Hence the several caveats to Olendirk in my post #17. But john tullamarine suggests: "where we are looking at the potential for windshear, my observation has been that the majority of pilots will carry extra speed if the circuit wind is moderately different to that on the surface."
Does Boeing issue specific advice on this? Olendirk would like to know.
Merely to say, as Port Strobe does, that "any drop in airspeed can be anticipated, it's basic situational awareness", does not do justice to the argument.
