Hi vilas. Thanks, that was a typo, now corrected.

My company recommends activating the approach once in selected speed, which can be as far back as during initial descent if a specific speed is required by ATC in the descent.

My point about pushing for managed speed on the approach was that if you have forgotten to ACTIVATE the approach, (because you are using selected speed at ATC request); then when you push for managed speed when on the ILS, your speed target will become 250kts instead of F speed or VLS+ mini ground speed.
