The standard bugged speed is Vref +5 kt buffer for A/THR deficiencies.

If eating into this margin and arriving at Vref, +1/+2 i.e. just above the normal and certified approach speed results in a slammer, it sounds a bit of an incomplete story to an outsider.

While you are not the first one to say so, I wonder what are the blanks that need filling.

THS freeze at 100?
