B727
This machine used to be really versatile
you could arrive "FAST AND LOW" OR
"HIGH AND SLOW"
By fast and low I mean at VMO 12 miles 2000 feet.
by high and slow I mean at Vref Flaps 40 10 miles 10,000 feet and
you could do a straight in approach.
Obviously this was before all the limitations of today . . .
like 250 KTS below 10,000 feet, ALAR, CRM, Safe Sex, etc.
