Flying into DXB this week UAE control and DXB appr requested us to give best fwd speed @ FL250. The 1900 doesnt go much faster then 190kts at those altitudes, however below +/- 17,000 FT we can fly 240 kts.
Yesterday I informed TWR we could do 240 till 5 nm out and asked the local twr guy to pass it to app as far as I got it he didn't pass it on.
So my question is does it help you guys out if we keep the speed up longer? And can you see on the radar screen we are speeding up to 240 kts.
