Guy D,
The whale has a Vapp in the 140kt range, which is pretty close to everything else except a 773 or an MD11.
Taking that the last last 5nm takes 2.5ish min you would need to have a 160kt Vapp aircraft following (ie 773 or MD11) to lose the 1nm in 3min or a 190kt Vapp aircraft to lose the 2 nm in 3min, so I can't figure how this final 5nm applies to the whale only, as it would be for all 140kt Vapp aircraft right? Could you explain it to me please?
