Sorry but in the Middle East (UAE), if I said to 6 different pilots to fly "Standard Speeds", I would get 6 different interpretations of what standard speed was, along with probably at least 3 "say again"s , and maybe a couple of period of just stunned silence.

If I want to make sure a pilot knows to fly the STAR speeds , I will say "comply with STAR speeds". And if I am able to allow him to stay fast, I will say "cancel STAR speeds". If to a pilot flying an old Russian crate between Baghdad and Dubai, I will maybe say "Comply with STAR speed restrictions from (and say the point the restriction applies)".

If I say standard speeds, as I said a lot of the guys we deal with would take that to be the usual profile speed for the aircraft they are flying. Not good when App need 250Kts, and the guy is flying the profile speed for an MD11.
