I read through it for the first time (prior I had picked my way
through) while watching the NFC and AFC playoffs this Sunday. It was
the perfect 10 minutes at a time read -- more than that and it was
just too much info to process.

Most was a review of things I had read elsewhere, but written in a
much more succinct and authoritative manner.

The landing performance section confirmed earlier posts about arriving
at the runway with minimal energy -- 1.3-1.5 Vso.

Seems as if this rule would be doubly critical to conventional gear.
