Climb Speed
Hi all,
I am flying with a guy at the moment who believes climbing at 300 feet permin in RVSM rocketing along at 320 knots is the best way to climb as you make up time. Apart from the obvious extra fuel burn I was wondering, as I dont know the price of things, what you all think regarding the trade off of doing this. I dont believe the extra speed offsets the price of the wasted fuel, and I dont think its significantly faster. He wont listen to my or other copis views on this.
Any thoughts? On the theory and how to confront the Capt?
Thanks
Copta
