Max approach turning speed
A quick query if I may
‘Max approach turning speed XXX’ as depicted on approach charts (e.g. VMMC ILS 34) refers to what speeds exactly? The procedural approach speeds only from the IAF? I assume under RADVEC this speed wouldn’t necessarily be required?
Any info welcome.

Depends, speed control on published charts can be for safety - example a low speed limit to reduce the turn radius. This is imposed in some cases when the base/final turn is close to terrain.
Under radar vectors, now that is a good question, one would assume ATC will assign a speed, then again assuming in this profession sometimes doesn't end well!
