Fair enough, I see that, I didn't look at the chart, I went on what was the reported distance in the post above. In any case, since we're dealing with agl, and the altimeter is giving us AMSL, why would you add the 330'? You're not going to descend that 330' Indicated height AMSL should be at or above 2500 at SHEED. You only have to lose 2200' in round figures to get to the threshold. If it is actually 6 miles and not 8 as indicated above, then about 250' high is about right. Does that make my maths better? Going Nowhere, the FMC in the 737 has SHEED at or above 2500. Usually flown at 2500.
