Willnotcomply,

Thanks for the info.

Bekolblockage,

When cleared high speed on dep I usually select 280 knots, a good compromise. The turn remains the same at porpa. We only fly at light weights compared to cx so terrain is not an issue by the time you are in the turn.

The issue of speed reduction is one that bugs me bigtime. Few folks understand descent profiles and rational speed reduction stuff so the most common thing I see is slowing down way early, being low and dragging it in. when ATC turn you onto heading 265 from west of TD and nothing on TCAS, we should keep the foot to the floor until at least 20 miles to run.
