Best angle = less distance away from the fix

On the other hand best rate = less time in high fuelflow altitudes but also you will have higher speed on the inbound leg to the enroutefix so timewise and fuelflow wise and with regards to earlier acquisation of fl100 hence an earlier turn back and a higher tas Vy sounds better.

I often think about this aswell. Can anyone help me get home earlier and save the enviroment (without changing career)
