You are quite wrong if I may say so. When carefully reading THE BOOK I 
realized that I did not need to code for the descent (in my table 
generating program). Buhlmans model and all TABLES generated from 
a true implementation thereof implicity ongas "as if" you had made a 
instant drop to the bottom. Buhlmans model assumes a 60 fpm descent rate, 
and any descent faster that that reduces ANY conservatism that instant 
descent may have provided.
