Fair point Keith.

I am proberly focusing to much on the max rate because thats what in real life causes you most problems with decent managment. High and need to get the height off can be a major issue where as below profile might be fuel hungry but it cause alot less problems.

O aye and if you use my theory in a tech interview you get the job
