Most everything pertaining to instrument procedures is predicated on
fixes,
facilities or waypoints either on the ground or geo-referenced to a
precise
location on the ground. Yet, many (most) of these procedures are
predicated on
indicated airspeed.

The origin of the timing table was not specifically referenced to ground
speed. In fact, the KISS concept in pre-GPS days favored simply applying
IAS
on final, as in managing human factors and keeping the priority tasks at
the
top of the list, so to speak. So, the discussion is not silly at all.


It's your position that is silly. When others stated the speeds in the
timing tables were ground speeds you asked for a reference showing that the
speeds on NACO charts are ground speeds. It has since been demonstrated
that the speeds are ground speeds, yet you still insist they're IAS.
Where's your reference that the speeds on NACO charts are IAS?
