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
