MD11 Policy/Econ Descent
Hi @ all.
On the MD11 there is an PIN option for airlines to either use a fixed descent speed in the FMS ("Policy Descent, e.g. 290 kts) oder the normal ECON mode, dependent on CI.
Im interested whats more commonly used these days where every pound of fuel is precious? Which operators use Policy or ECON ? Especially Lufthansa Cargo would be very interesting.
Thanks and have a nice day =)
