Hi,

Quote:

Once we were eventually cleared for descent the aircraft was descending in excess of the ASI v/s limit of 6000ft/min with the brakes out.

I understand that.

But can you go from 35.000 feet to 0 foot in 5 minutes and covering the radius distance of 75 Km (40 Nm) ?
What will be your speed when you contact the sea ?
