Good point and i totally agree but we have been told to reduce the speed to 270 kts on all LTMA traffic because it will save the environment.....
but won't getting them in quickly and on the ground asap save more fuel???? and thus carbon emissions....
its an idiotic rule thought up by some numpty in an office somewhere whos trying to justify their existence by jumping on the "green" bandwagon and hasn't thought or been told how it will affect day to day ops. There are other measures that would save fuel and carbon emissions, like direct routes, that would be better off being investigated rather than some arbitary speed restriction.
