Category C Handling Speed Limits
B737 (Category C) on initial and intermediate segments of approach is covered by a speed range of 240-160 knots.
Does this in turn, mean that the pilot must maintain at least 160 knots until reaching the final approach fix or point? As the final approach fix is often the outer marker situated at 4 miles, then if 160 knots in fact is a lower speed limit until reaching the FAF, does this not mean that the aircraft cannot be stabilised by 1000 ft IMC - a Boeing recommendation?
Question therefore is: Request correct interpretation of the 160 knot lower speed limit to the FAF on cat C aircraft.
