What was the outcome of this debate?
At 89 knots one had a rate of descent in the order of 600-700 feet/min. At 119 it was way over 1000 feet/min (I think, if memory serves correctly, 1600 feet/min). I preferred the former, for lower RoD accepting that I wasn't going to go far from the failure; he preferred the latter, I think for greater 'penetration'.
The outcome was less important than the fact that I felt he was just wanting to see to what extent I was a 'thinking aviator'.
