Sure it does. It provides guidance for minimums, procedural data notes,
etc, which are Part 97 imperatives when transmitted through the
rule-making process
onto the approach chart.


But no regulatory requirements upon pilots or the operation of aircraft.



Obviously, you don't know what you're talking about.


Is it? Let's test that. If you can provide a reference from FAA Order
8260.19C which places a regulatory requirements upon pilots then I don't
know what I'm talking about. If you can't provide that reference then you
don't know what you're talking about. Fair enough?



Those are "speeds." How you choose to use them is up to you.


You said previously they are IAS, are they or aren't they IAS? Or are you
saying that IAS and groundspeed can be used interchangeably?



The regulatory basis is the distance from the FAF to the MAP. Nothing
more,
nothing less. Obviously, with today's equipment navigating to the MAP via
RNAV is more accurate than a pilot attempt to convert IAS to TAS, then to
G/S.


So you're still maintaining that the speeds in the timing tables are IAS,
even after it was proven here that they cannot be anything other than GS?
That's incredible! And you think it obvious that I don't know what I'm
talking about!

Okay, fine. When I said the speeds in the timing tables were GS you asked
for a supporting reference. Since you "work with this stuff all the time"
it should be a simple matter for you to provide a reference indicating these
speeds are IAS. If you wish to retain what little credibility you have left
you'll do so.
