If you're not making much over-the -ground speed, you're unlikely to hit the far hedge
Thats the most sensible thing anyone's said all night. All these naysayers warning that we're all doomed if we add a couple of knots are all forgetting the effect on GROUNDSPEED of a headwind.
Damned sure i'd rather go through the far hedge at 20 knots than the near one vertically and just under VS.
