....to hit a target with less than a 25' margin for error....
Ever going to explain this? How do you know what the target was to within 25'?

Forgot to mention, as you read Stanish's letter, you see also references to the "opinons" of the Retired General (?) Stubblebine, and the BYU (ex) professor Steven Jones.
Plenty of ATS bandwidth has been devoted to Jones, and his poor scientific method, and lack of peer-review.
Stubblebine? Well, he served in the armed forces of our nation, and deserves respect for that. But, as to the rest?? Well.....my grandfather suffered from senile demensia, too. Tragic thing.....

Why?
In the real world, it's none of the above anyway. The speed in the data block is supplied by the transponder (see Aeroperu Flight 603).

Yawn.
If the speed block worked independent of the transponders, care to explain why we don't have any speed data for UAL175?
Oh, and since I remember, what will PfffffT be doing now that one of their members is set to join one of the co-conspirators?

I'm not sure why you're so keen to drag others over the coals for not answering your pointless questions.
Especially when you routinely avoid answering about half the questions aimed at you.
I'll tell you what, I'll make a prediction.
Even if this thread goes to 200 pages this extraordinary - and pointless - notion will still have made absolutely no impact at all on the world at large.
And I'm also fascinated by your assertion that many of ALPA's Officers are members of P4T. Which ones?
Common knowledge, not to mention he's quite open about it.

So it appears you too would rather an "MIT professor" who is unable to calculate a simple percentage, assign speeds for your aircraft (since his "calculations" are more in line with your blind support of the OS), rather than ATC with ASR radar.
Good luck with that.
Especially when you routinely avoid answering about half the questions aimed at you.
I apologize if I missed some, as I will admit, it is hard to keep up with all the OS supporters who literally flock to - and dog-pile on.... a topic which you people claim "No one cares".
Feel free to post the questions again.
I suppose you don't find it odd that none of the so-called claimed "pilots" here who admittedly blindly support the OS, refuse to answer the questions I posed repeatedly?

You favour the radar speed over his estimate. Why?
And try to do this without smearing him - actually attempt to show why his calculation is wrong.
So I shouldn't believe an anonymous person the internet (Mike at 911 myths) because an anonymous person on the internet (you) says so?

If ASR radar had such a large margin for error, aircraft would be crashing into each other daily..
Again Tricky, why do you evade these questions?
Which would you rather have assigning speeds for your approach?
