Bloggs, aerodynamically speaking If I get fast on an approach a speedstable aircraft will reduce its vertical speed aerodynamically. Remember speedstable, I explained that a few times but maybe you check this link:
http://www.faa.gov/regulations_polic...apter%2004.pdf . To increase the rate of descent I reduce thrust.
oh BTW even if you would not notice the decreasing vertical speed, you still approach the runway at a faster rate. so your path over the ground gets more shallow.
Sure thing nitpicker, flight instructing for about 500 hours, 737 about 2500 hrs, A320 about 3500 hours. A320 Command about 1500 hrs. I clocked up my hours quite a bit faster nitpicker.
