Bluestar,

Don't forget that because the bus flies a constant angle, the ROD may vary. But it's the angle that matters!

I know of no airline that operates larger machinery on a "dive and drive". It's all about stable approaches now, so you simply "bounce off" MDA or land. Levelling off at MDA is only for light a/c.
