vilas,
I think PJ2 illustrated here some time ago that the Airbus UAS procedure was confusing; even potentially misleading. One hopes it has now been clarified.
Pilots need to understand better the basic mechanics of how their a/c fly. I'm not talking about complex aerodynamics. For example, if you pitch your a/c up 5 degrees in the cruise, it will soon start to climb at that angle (before it slows down appreciably). That's about 4000 ft/min initially. Do youngsters realise things like that nowadays?
