TERPS Circling Approach
Hi,
For PAN-OPS, it is very clear that the maximum manoeuvring speed is 205kts for a CAT D aircraft. An aircraft should not exceed 205kts for the whole approach.
For TERPS, it is referred to as threshold IAS which is vref, or 1.3 Vso at max landing weight. For a CAT D aircraft, it should not exceed 165kts. So, how do I know what is the maximum manoeuvring speed to fly the approach, from downwind-base-finals if it only states the maximum threshold speed? Does it mean I have to maintain max of 165kts throughout the approach?
Thank you

The maximum speed is determined by which procedure is being used; which chart.
These speeds relate to turning performance within the safe area.
The geometry and safe areas for PANS-OPS and TERPS differ.
