Well, guys and girls, my 'Book of Boeing' is (possibly now amended?) FCT 737 Oct 31 2007, but I guess a/c still land the same way, and it does in fact match exactly the 'traditional' teachings of aviation for years.
What does your say about 'Normal Touchdown Attitude'? Mine says
"With proper airspeed control and thrust management, touchdown occurs at no less than VREF-5"
That's the minimum, of course. With a gust factor added, you would keep that to touchdown. Book of Boeing 1:13. Amen. (Oct 08 version.)
This all backs up my idea that we should have a Vref30+gust factor = VrefGust. Then, BOAC, you can still touchdown at Vref
Gust-5.
