Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the 270kts speed trial end a while ago? The only recent change is AC are now informed of average delays when they increase above certain averages and then also are told when to pass the EATs shown on AMAN. Slowing traffic down is still down to the sector controller concerned and not compulsory, only if the circumstances make it possible, or in other words, we get the traffic from the French in good time.......
