I’m in the middle of a fascinating discussion with the FR24 people about that. Their data shows a constant 314 KTAS from FL100 all the way down to the go-around, only reducing (abruptly, to around 220 KTAS) when passing through 3000’ downwind after the GA.
So far, they are insisting that 200 KIAS during the GA isn’t incompatible with their 314 KTAS value. At sea level ?? Really ??
I suppose the moral is that you can have all the data in the world, and still not understand any of it.
