Nice.
Speaking to a senior . . colleague. . . the other day, we spoke of an approach - being kept high by ATC.
23 miles 13000 feet.
Speed back to below gear limiting speed - full speedbrake, gear down descend to final approach profile, high rate of descent - with - nothing on OCL/OCH to conflict -
In the same conversation I was able to ask my cherry of a question -
. . .in a selected go around - pin the speed to 190 with Flaps 1 if for a tight circuit to come back onto finals on profile - ?
the answer was yes but he would have selected 180 - generally speaking - subject to WAT of course and others.
En general again: re: noise - Can one safely assume that hard climbs are noisy, shallow climbs are noisy if accelerating hard and therefore the quietest would be a shallow climb say 1,000fpm at an optimum airspeed say, 200 and that the same at 180 would be noisier - just a noisy question about noise - not about the ideal profile SOPs etc. A mere technical question.
There could be a course of Outside the box flying but then you need to teach it to people who have the common sense to know when to use it and not abuse it. Experience usually leads you there.
It would be interesting - life at Vne - or so slow you are off the clock - but not stalled(?)-(or descending) indeed the Chandelle from reciprocal heading to put you back on finals (irritates the tower though) To slip - (sigh) you can pick up a really nice radial without ever changing heading -
Where have all the cloud breaks gone?
How DO you guarantee a nice intercept of the jolly Glideslope when you DO intercept from above, not being false here.
Flying a nice tight circuit . . .(circle to land?) while all the pax are still nicely dozing.
You have to wear the aircraft like your jacket - a certain orange coloured airline in the greenest nice parts of Europe take their Studes (base training) up to 28,000 - 35,000 and swan around all afternoon letting them get used to "flying" at those levels. It is a very pretty sight to watch - creative contrails as a result.
