It appears from earlier posts that is "accepted" that an early speed reduction from 180/5 to 180/7 is OK. Would the Asiana crew have that perspective? Especially when the PF is 'under training'? What would be the IP's opinion if the deceleration started 2 miles earlier than instructed? Would the PF not try to comply with 180/5?
