barside banter
- since Pontius was a Pilot (and in my decades of barside banter) has always been half the steady headwind component and all the gust increment to a max of Vref+20kts. Boeing certainly drink at this bar.

Of course, for those foolhardy folk who trust the automatics, set Vref+5 and rely on the autothrottle. to sort out the gusts.
