Would prefer you came out 1 late not early as I can speed you up to catch up the minute; otherwise more than likely you will be too tight and it's vector time
I'm good with that

While I'm here, what about Category speed limits (ie Cat C airspeeds 160-240kt inside the IAF) when we have been given "make best speed/no STAR speed restriction below A100" in a radar environment?

If I string a STAR into an ILS, I can clear the 250kt/10000', but the IAF has a 240KIAS limit, and in some cases the IAF is 20 or 25 miles remaining to the field.

At all but highest landing weights, our machine can hold 320kias to 20nm/6000' AAL and comfortably slow down, no cowboy stuff, to be landing config and stable by 1000' AGL.

If you want me faster, are you worried about the 240kt limit at the IAF?
