Yes BOM is a pain in the ass for many reasons

However unless I'm missing something how does a 3.3 deg G/S cause the Aircraft to fly faster???? It still does the required VREF +additives or VLS + additives for its weight, flap setting and ambient conditions.This speed doesn't change with a steeper gradient!!!
Yes the required descent V/S is higher and the thrust required slightly less to maintain the G/S but the speed is the same as any other Airport!!

Idiots.
