Ci 0 is your best endurand speed in cruise and best L/D for descent.
That is not my understanding de facto.
My understanding is that ci 0 is MRC which is faster than best endurance.
Best endurance is min drag and I would like to know a way of determining what that is while I am loading up the FMC on the ground. One of the reasons I have for this is that any slower and you are 'speed unstable' as you slide down the back of the drag curve. For interest sake I would like to be able to know what it is.
At ths stage I only know that it is slower than MRC (ci 0) .
Could it be determined using the holding page?
