Hi guys!
How about a procedure that could be initiated by ATC, and not the pilots having to ask for it. When traffic permits, the controller could issue a clearance that could sound like this: "Flight No., speed 160 to 175 to 4 dme". Not included in the clearance, fly the published speed. Could be on the STAR plate in the notes somewhere (if one can find room for it): "Fly published speeds. If able, controller will advise if higher speeds can be flown". Pretty busy out there at times, so let's find a way to reduce the r/t to minimum.
What do you think?
