Which surely amounts to about the same thing (protecting the IAS), just by different routes?
The OP wanted to fly the Airbus paradigm in his Boeing.
The Boeing proponents said, "Why?"
The Airbus proponent(s) said "Because its better. You protect IAS by flying a mini GS. You don't have de-stabilising thrust inputs late in approach."
(Not that I fly the Airbus, but are Airbus pilots and their machine so cool as to not bother to add thrust even if they did fly through a shear?)
The Boeing proponents said "We protect IAS by protecting IAS. Whats the big deal?" (Not many of us still here can say it hasn't worked for us...even BOAC, and by anecdotal accounts, he has been around a while.)
And then everybody got confused...
As for removing the mental maths, thats mental.
