Speed Control
Dear Pitotheat, I think as I always have that we are here to provide a service to you. You pay for it. Bear in mind that a lot of controllers these days know absolutely nothing about how your aircraft flies, it is just like a video game. As a pilot you should make your requirements known; for example if you want greater wake vortex protection or cannot or do not wish to compromise flight stability by inappropriate speed control. One of NATS cutbacks was to dicontinue flightdeck familiarisation. Regards.
