Hi rudderrudderrat, thanks, but too late, haven't closed an eye guess I feel pretty stupid but even with above explanation can't figure it out. I know you need more power in a strong HW. Am I correct in stating that the added HW introduces a vector which actually changes your path in space but not when related to the GP? That is the only thing that makes sense.

Have to admit, never gave too much thought to it, just did it but interesting nonetheless!

Actually fatflyer, one or two degrees will make a difference on the ground segment you would be able to see. Groundsegment being the distance on the ground limited by your forward visibilty and the cutoff angle. One of the reasons when visibility is low we usually use flaps 30 instead of 25 when landing. Pfft, I did know that one
