maintain 180 from 10 miles till 5 miles to touchdown and 160 from 5miles till touch down.

(Source - VIDP-ATIS 126.4 a couple of days ago)
A small but critical correction..

it was 180 until 10 miles and 160 until 5 miles..

u can never expect an aircraft to maintain 160 knots from 5 miles until
touch down.. what are Vref speeds calculated for.. ??
