OrsonCart... the man meant the reduction inside 4DME. Just about everyone will fly 150-170kts to 4DME but lightly loaded a/c sometime come back to dramatically low speeds close in, as you have probably noticed. If we get adequate warning during the intermediate approach we can add on half a mile so the one behind doesn't overtake over Hatton Cross!
