My assessment of that is that VMD was 13kts above the speed on the hold page which is the minimum fuel burn speed and not a speed I would have wanted to slow to.
Thoughts?
Framer, before you make that conclusion, can you first be sure that single engine drift down speed, 242 kts, is indeed for least ANGLE of descent. Because if it is instead for best RANGE speed single engine, then your assessment may be incorrect.
