How to cross the Atlantic Ocean

[Brett_Henderson]

Brett, I thought Vy climbs were always done at full power, and pitching for the speed?

(I'm glad you said "pitching for the speed" ... means you're really getting this stuff

So every thing worked great .
Was just going to threw in there thrust makes a huge difference too, but you made it, so it is a mute point now. :-/

Actually I had about 50% fuel left when reaching Kennedy Intl.
Had moderate head wind (~70kn.) in some parts of the trip long and was cruising at ~ M0.83 all the time but had absolutely 0 cargo (wanted to be sure)  8-)

Thanks again to all that afforded my success...  :-*
