In the recent 737 autopilot change,
we see that the only improvement is the change of the target speet.

However, I am surprised to see that the target speed is hardwired here.
AFAIK, the heavies use different target speeds dependant on the density
altitude and aircraft landing weight. I don't know how big the difference
can be within the possible range of the allowed landing weights. Can a 737
specialist sched some more light, please?
