Thanx BOAC, I do prefer to follow the prescribed speeds as it's more elegant and allows to complete the turns without excessive turn radius. It's more a result of a scarce space and a matter of noise abatement. SID are in most cases noise preferential routes thus accurate adherence to the speed limitations ensures minimum level of noise, methinks.
I'd say exactly the same approach ban in the UK is the same as EU OPS, however CAP 393 used as a reference suggests 1000 ft footmark as a valid approach ban for none UK registered aircrafts. Apparently CAP 393 has been amended to make it uniform with the EU OPS. Any chance to get this amendment or the reference please?
Cheers
