Any ATCO's care to comment more on the +- 10 kt thing please
- copious posts from ATC throughout PPRune telling you there is NO tolerance on the speed (unless, of course, that has changed.)

Let's get away from 'RyanAir don't give a ***', 'Easy do this' and 'xxx does that'.

For those unfortunates slogging away there, you will have to declare 'unable' when it is requested. Perhaps ATC should get it published on the plates so that the advice can be given early eg "expect 160 to 4 on finals"?

Everyone else who CANNOT do it, get it sorted with your company, CAA and CHIRP - whatever it takes.

ATC look again at 170 to 5 - which was 'promised' in a previous thread but died.
