Speed restriction

Procedures

A speed restriction is an ATC instruction or published limit that tells you to keep at or below, at or above, or at a specified speed. It is used most often in departure, arrival, and approach to maintain separation and sequence aircraft efficiently. You must read it back correctly and comply with it within the limits of your aircraft and phase of flight. If you cannot meet the restriction, tell ATC immediately so they can issue another instruction.
