This will be good I've seen this AIC recently & I'd like to see this new speed requirement work properly. Bit like the COBT, that's about as effective as wet toilet paper!!!20 mins delay on COBT, slow down enroute, hold, exit the hold early & max speed on decent!...yep works well much like a well oiled Russian 2 stroke lawn mower !
I love the 'big stick' theory too, how would ATC know what's on the speedo? Retribution, it's about retribution!
Some one could be doing 170kts & another doing 140kts 10 knots either side of their requirement & still be legal.
Anyway they can chop & change the rules moving the goal posts all they like as any airborne restrictions rarely works & isn't the issue, shoot a few Pollies then we might get somewhere!
