Thanks I understood exactly what BOAC was talking about. The thread was reference to why would you set Vref +8 as standard instead of Vref +5 as recommended inthe FCTM.
I also understand that you have to maintain the gust factor if applied whilst removing the mean wind component.
I guess it's like BOAC says ....this guy doesn't like to fly the recommended speed and would like to use more runway! All good and well on long runways
