I would like to tip my hat, to 411a and his admirable real-world training ethics.
Somebody mentioned over 850 fpm descent required for a three degree glidepath at gross weight. Throw in a ten knot tailwind, and that down rate is closer to 1000 fpm.
As I recall, at 1400 fpm the fuselage cracked in two at Edwards AFB on original hard landing certification tests. That airframe was repaired and delivered to a customer later. It was covered in AW&ST many years ago.
Staying current
HAND flying the line gives real-world currency that the "Magic Kingdom" just can't replicate.
But the training "Sim Gods", to a man disagree.
Oh, those brave Men and their Proud Simulators!
