all added together if too much take out contingency.
Speed on descent
280-300
Why to know actual landing distance
Buffer for remainder of runway in case float
LVO where to come out
When asked to orbit why use 0.1 nm hold instead of heading
Gives further estimates of time fuel in the box
Why not to put thrust to reverse if reverses INOP
Because even though reversers, thrust lever position will still add thrust on if in above idle reverse

Why understand OEB
line check fuckers will ask
is it okay to fly below F, S speed?
yes
