but this is my last word.
can surely put an approach speed proposal to his company
IF Olend is still around, by all means approach your company to re-write Boeing handling procedures and have the relevant software fitted. I still maintain you should follow your trained procedures and fly IAS. We ALL (I hope) are aware of windshear without a computer to help us? Hopefully 'airmanship'/commonsense has not yet been eradicated?

I totally agree with BOAC,
Why changing a procedure to fly IAS to GS?When u fly at approach speed and you have a 20 kts tailwind..do you actually look at your groundspeed?I dont.
When will one tell his FOs the great idea to use take off speeds using GS!!!
I doubt these guys are a few dangerous ones who just forget to fly,distracted by their own irrelevant theories added through the years...
And whats that with IRS?INS......dudes!!!!!just fly the plane the boeing way...experiment your way if you are the captain(god bless you)but dont teach it and use your rank to fill these poor new fos with this nonsense...

Autoflight,
This, then. would be why all those hundreds of Boeings have been falling out of the sky for all these years.....

GS Mini
I've been following this topic with interest and I have also found one great post that clearly explains GS-mini.

Dream - I guess most of us understand that system - what we are awaiting is for autoflight and others to give us details of the 737 GS Mini system so we can start using it
Norman Stanley Fletcher,
Just read your very comprehensive explanation.
A previous mixed fleet employer used to go on a bit about min GS BUT I was flying the 747 classic and I felt, on that aircraft, trying to monitor and adjust for GS was too distracting and it was better to stick to the Boeing additive of Vref + 1/2 wind + Gust tapering to Vref + Gust at threshold.
Anyone regularly use the min GS system on a steam driven aeroplane?
