Speed control
1 viewOct 1, 2026
ATC keeps arrivals evenly spaced with speed. You hear Mach numbers and knots, speed with a level change, how ATC cancels its limits, the 250 kt limit below 10,000 ft and where speed control ends on final.
What you learn
- Read back a speed in Mach or in knots
- Fly speed and level in the order that then sets
- Explain what still applies after no ATC speed restriction
- Tell which flights the 250 kt limit below 10,000 ft binds
- Explain why ATC gives no speeds inside 4 NM on final
