Holy He!! You mean the FMS computes climb, cruise, descent, and approach speeds at a constant Mach value? That's why my times are always off! Thanks! Those FMS designers are really dumb. I bet they even calculate the fuel and time for arrival fixes on a straight in approach you'll never fly over! Brilliant!
