Hard Deck
I made it sound a bit dramatic, my bad.
If you know the site, I assumed we would ridge run around the high point and then pop over and to the airport. The debrief later stated that it would make for a "too fast" decent that close to the airport (sorta like New Castle coming up from Blacksburg on the ridge, don't terrain follow to the deck since you WILL exceed redline).
Where we went over, we could have comfortably cleared the higher bits on either side of the saddle, the saddle allowed no slowing down and a shallower decent on the back side.
The post was more of a, would we be landed?
Anyway, got an answer, thanks.
