That's intersting as we did not include wind additives unless the component was in excess of 20Kts. That was the first airplane I had seen that in having previously flown the DC10 and L10LL. It was sort of un-nerving at first but it seemed to work out without incident at the time. Those additives to Vapp and flaps thirty five would certainly account some of those high approach speeds. Also for the first year or more, we did not use ABS for landings due to some CLG issues that needed to be resolved.
