The 240 ground speed would roughly equal 210 KCAS at 6000’, which is the published speed and altitude at RDFSH point (if in fact that was being navigated to and autothrottle managing speed).

At that speed, clean wing in light to moderate chop (as reported by another arrival), that could be approaching a critical AOA. Of course nothing is known here- conditions, config, etc.; nothing.
