Resisted temptation but - what the hey !

A320, 321 or 330, light or full will do 160 to 4, provided you are ready for it.

It all comes down to how you set yourself up prior to the 4d point.

Most major airfields ask for it these days and whether we are given no speed or standard speed, you can still achieve the basic requirement for what is, after all a critical part of the sequencing - once you are inside 15 miles, the leeway for speed errors drops quickly - I have seen it on TCAS, in the Radar room and on the ATC simulator when I was priviledged to have a play - funny how I cleared all the locals to the centre fix
