Hey guys,
So a couple of years back (about 2 or 3) I was flying on United 934 from LAX to LHR on a 777. Of course I was listening to Channel 9 throughout the flight, especially during the entire descent and approach into Heathrow. I can't really remember what phase of the flight we were in exactly, but I think it was just in our vectors to the final approach course, I heard the controller talk about a Naibock Estimate (pronounced n "eye" bok)(it may have been Maybach or something...)
Does anyone know what this is? I think it had something to do with altitudes and speed or something which I thought was just one of those fixes where controllers will tell a pilot to be at a certain altitude and at a certain speed, but I wanted to see what you guys thought.
Thanx, Michael
