I'd like to nominate Funfly and MFS for their Q and A to be submitted to USA Today. This is just what the public needs to hear.
A 20 knot TAS wind shift seems much safer to handle at altitude than on take off or landing.

MFS, these mach speeds must be done for max aircraft weight I presume?

And so with a GW increase for an aircraft, the test pilots would have to revisit them all, and if necessary reduce VMO?
