Lucky for me, we were not being tested!

The experience was great to fly particular Stars over and over with different speeds and short cuts in the route to see what happens with deck angle and fuel burn and workload etc.

We did throw a thunderstorm into it, interesting.....

We will be using it again for RNAV departure and RNP departure design at a couple of our airports which will be good too.

We will then put a briefing together, hopefully with line pilots as well, to educate controllers about how different techniques impact the aircraft. Reworking our collective definition of "efficiency" as right now ours is a little different from the one some of our airlines have. Should help us provide a better service to the airlines.

Cheers
