Some questiosn regarding this issue.
How can adding 5 minutes make a decent impact on fuel conservation?
Would I be correct in saying that the savings can be made by either having a reduced cruise speed, or finding altitude conditons / prevailing winds providing faster ground speed?.
I would have thought that a more gradual reduction from cruise speed to approach speed, as opposed to a more sudden deceleration (constant decel the speedbrake etc)would save more fuel?
Isnt this all out the window when it comes to spacing by approach controllers, slots and the like?
As per AA, are their any a/c that could be parked due to excessive consumption / or changed to different routes?
