Do you use the throttle to increase/decrease power to match the ground speed to the approach speed table so the time is correct to the MAP? I find this concept astonishing. Surely very, very few CFII's are teaching this? I have run into one or two. It will be more popular. Watch and see. This method is used by the flight control software of the Airbus A-320 series of aircraft. I **** you not. Straight from the lips of an A-320 captain. The autothrottles adjust to a given groundspeed on approach. Groundspeed, not airspeed. No, I don't know why either - but he insists that it's true. Once more aiplanes adopt this approach, I am willing to bet it will become the norm at the big flight schools - especially as IFR GPS becomes standard. And once the big flight schools start teaching it... Michael
