Thanks for the reply DFC, maybe I should have been more precise with my question. I am very aware of descent planning and entering holds, holding speeds etc.. the plate in question Rosun 1A into EGCC. I understand that at the SLP (rosun -12nm) 250kts max, reducing to 230kts by rosun. I like to plan to be FL070 / 230kts at rosun. My question is "do I have to be back at 250 kts prior to descending below FL140 ?" From my understanding as long as I am at 250 kts by the SLP I'm ok. Thanks in advance ........
