However, you have no idea where you are on the arc. The objective is to fly the arcing course...not a speed.
What radial are you on? Where are you in respect to your lead radial or final approach course? Did you turn the proper way to get on the arc?
I believe there is a lot of benefit to updating the radial frequently in terms of situational awareness.
Flying the GS readout alone doesn't answer all of the questions I'd like to know.
