Sorry, but you have misunderstood my statement.
We set it for manual approaches as well in order to keep manual & automatic approaches as similar as possible & also to have the target speed that we are attempting to fly shown on the ASI.
I am talking here about the action of the setting of the command speed bug, not the particular speed it is to be set to. I was
not saying to set Vref +5 for both automatic & manual approaches, which is incorrect. Actually, that is what
in FACT is was suggesting & I was trying to explain why it isn't done that way & why it is done the way it is.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough or perhaps you should read the thread more carefully. Talk about communication issues & CRM - a perfect example
