Inst App - Speed Reduction BLW Init. Seg. Spd.
Below the table "Speeds for Procedure in Knots IAS" AIP Enr 1.15.1 Jepp AU-16 2.3.1 is note 2 which states that "Speed reduction below the initial segment speed range is permitted to enable the final approach speed to be achieved prior to the commencement of the final segment."
Now as far as I can see every minimum initial speed for each category (A - E and H) is already below or equal to the corresponding maximum speed. What purpose then does this exception serve? What am I missing? Do any of you utilize this in practice? All I can think of is perhaps Cats C and D having a bit of latitude to dip below 160 / 180 as it is otherwise the ONLY permissible speed at which they may cross the FAF.
Thanks in advance,
