LHR Arrival speeds
It's been a while since i have been to LHR. The Jeppesen 10-1 pages give approach speeds instructions, 220kts to depart the hold, 180kts base leg, 180-160kts final approach and 160 to 4 DME.
On the arrival we were asked to slow to 180 kts. Then we were cleared to intercept the localizer and then follow the glide path. We started to slow towards 160kts. Heathrow Director then tells us to go back to 180kts. And then tells that 160 kts is fine as long as we get permission.
So can we follow the Jepp 10-1 pages advice or do we have to maintain speed until they give a lower speed or we ask for a lower speed?
Thanks
