IIRC the 747-400 comes down pretty fast anyway. I think you're looking at 195 KIAS range for final dropping down to 175 KIAS (with full flaps) at the outer marker. But note again, this is from memory. Still, there is no way that pig flies at 150. The biggest problem I saw with that model was the issue it had with climbing (ran out of climb speed at too low an alititude). IIRC it should climb at least 500fpm even above 30,000. Has that problem been addressed?
