Hi my friend! First of all I would like to thank you for your efforts, you have an excellent knowledge and a great way to explain things! The question I have about the GS mini as follow; Is the GS mini is a constant speed over the ground that the aircraft will maintain till touchdown? The GS mini based on the Vapp speed therefore if the wind increases in your example the aircraft will keep maintaining 147kts but the managed speed will increase. What do you think with this statement?
With your respect, probably you have got your wires crossed. The fact is that Gs mini isn’t 153kt in this scenario. Gs mini = Vapp - ( VLS + 5kt or 1/3 head by ATIS whichever is higher ) = 147 - 21 = 126 kt = Gs mini Target IAS on the final would be Gs mini ( 126kt ) + Actual Head ( 27 kt ) = 153 kt
Great channel. Keep it up . Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 👍
Glad to know .. that this channel helped you 😁
