Just received my 'little blue book' re GAAP changes in the mail, and am surprised at the max speed limitation of...250KIAS.
As I usually never have the opportunity to do 250 IAS, can anybody advise the acft type(s) which may have to do these speeds in a GAAP, where the 'average bugsmasher' is plodding along at 100 or so?
He'd either be doing a wide circuit to maintain separation behind, or he could have it all to himself.....(?)
I've shared the circuit with a Vampire at BK back in the 'good ole days'...with me in a Chippie (90kts flat out..), however I don't know what IAS he would have been doing, and there was plenty of 'warning' from the excellent controllers of the time. (Mirro? don't know how he spelt his name, but the man was VERY good).
We agreed that I should just let him 'go past'.....
