My one and only speed restriction (at HPN) went like this "Maule, how slow
can you go?", "80 knots"


Years ago, I was flying a practice ILS 32 in VMC at CYOW in our
Maule:

and I was asked by ATC for "minimum speed" after glideslope intercept.
It was a neat exercise to keep the needles centered under the hood during
the airspeed reduction to 50 mph ias.

I was grinning away because a cold front had passed, and the wind out
of the northwest gave me a nice headwind, so my groundspeed (knots)
was in the high teens, which is probably not something ATC sees every
day on the ILS ... but they did ask for "minimum speed", didn't they? :-)
