Much as I really love my 727, it keeps catching me out :-[ especially at difficult approaches like Toncontin etc...

With a close to full load, but very light on fuel, should the 727 be able to hold speed at level flight, with full flaps and wheels down?

I find that unless I hold a constant descent, even at full throttle, the speed just keeps bleeding off.

What am I doing wrong?  It seems the drag is massive!

Thanks
