Are we to understand that you believe statutory laws are there to be broken as long as you are unlikely to be caught, yet non-statutory, nonsensical 'rules' promoted by the burgeoning and frequently idiotic H&S industry are sacrosanct and to be observed without question?
No you are to understand that in order to position correctly for the approach at some airfields after being held up high in the airway by ATC it is necessary to sometimes exceed the speed limit outside controlled airspace by 30 kts to remove this excess height.
You are also to understand that as the commander of a public transport aircraft I alone decide on the best course of action in any given circumstance. I use the law as a guide, not a bible.
