Are you guys using green dot for flaps extension or fixed flap schedule speeds? For the time being we are limited on fixed speeds.
We use whatever speeds we want. But what is certain is that 'Green Dot' (or Dot+10 in ice) is the least stressful for the aircraft. As for Hot and High, I have to be the expert! An truly biblical (totally un-economic and uncomfortable) rate of descent can be set up at 205kts, Flaps 2 and Gear down.

And another thing, at altitude 'Green Dot' moves as you change airspeed. It's computed like most other green dots, but on this plane some idiot has also added C/L. So maintaining altitude and reducing speed reduce green dot speed - of course!!??
