Jets don't descend and decelerate simultaneously very well. The Bus is no
exception and it requires proper planning to descend for an approach. The

Nice read, Cap'n Doesn't the concurrent use of spoilers and flaps do
anything freaky to the sink rate? And didn't you feel the public
address mic should be closer at hand than having to contort your back
each time to pick it up, not to mention moving back the seat if you're
short.

Keep posting, mate.
