270KT outer speed limit for london TMA
Just wanted to get peoples (both atcos and pilots) reactions to the new 270kt outer speed limit restriction.
We`ve been told that unless traffic reasons dictate we should make all a/c inbound to the ltma fly at 270kts. Apparently this will reduce holding times at the stacks.
To people on my sector it seems a bit pointless and just adds rt when rt loading on some sectors (clacton especially) is at a premium.
Do pilots want to fly this speed- it seems we`re starting to interfere in how pilots fly their a/c by imposing more and more restrictions further and further from the airfields.
Just looking for peoples thoughts
