Guys, especially real pilots, as i started to fly 707 i noteced that it takes MUCH more time to slow down in level flight then, say light 727.
727 slows much as it should by boeing docs. But i dont have numbers for 707. Plane have big wings, thats right, but how do you feel about that?

In passenger 707 in about 200 000 lbs landing weight it takes forever to slow it down from 250 to 200 KIAS without spdbrakes to start flaps extension. Heavy freighter in 240 000 lbs slows a bit faster, but still looks like plane want to fly.

Also there is no way to descend at 250 KIAS clean. You have to use full extension of Speedbrakes to get V\S more than 1000 fpm. And as you set flaps 14, you cant use spdbrakes, and it still slows too slow :o

Is that right for real plane? How do you feel about that?
Did you use speedbrakes with flaps?

And also what does GEAR DOOR UNSAFE light shows? Does it mean that you shouldnt set idle power inflight? (coz idle power setting light up that light)
