Moist,
Just read your latest rant.......
20 miles from the field, that's below FL 100 in Class D orE airspace isn't it??
I always thought that 250kts below FL100 was standard unless, quoting our manual:
"in Class D airspace when authorised by an air traffic control unit" or "in Class E, conflicting traffic may not be known to ATC and so it is necessary for all flights to make use of the see and avoid principle. In order for this to operate effectively, controllers shall NOT authorise a relaxation of the airspace speed limit"
This makes you all similar speeds doesn't it??
Before you make off the cuff comments, make sure you know what you're talking about.
