I am looking for JAA MAX hold speeds, from the table below there is a difference from FAA and ICAO, I have found my details in Pan Ops, I wonder if JAA have different MAX speeds.

Please you smart guys who only want to refer to the aircraft flight manual, that is fine, that is not the answer I am looking for. I am NOT looking for a type specific answer, I am looking for a general legal requirement.

Checked NATS, and the part about HOLDS, and not mentioned anything there.


FAA:
Up to 6,000 ft MSL: 200 KIAS
From 6,001 to 14,000 ft MSL: 230 KIAS
14,001 ft MSL and above: 265 KIAS


The ICAO Maximum holding speeds:

Up to 14000 ft: 230kts
14000 ft to 20000 ft: 240kts
20000 ft to 34000 ft: 265kts
Above 34000 ft: M0.83
