Had an ezy behind me at AGP today he was being asked to keep the speed up leaving mar on the ILS Y,captain very politely declined blaming SOP and "had to be at 180knts" once on the localiser.
Being that 1/2 scale occurs at around 25 miles out and that he had to be back at 180 knts at that point would it be unreasonable to expect ezy to accept vectors to allow faster traffic to get by?
Once the guy came back to 180, there was a marked increase in vectoring and speed control behind.
How long has this SOP been in place is it new? Havn't noticed the orange chicane before.....
