Ack...city life
I just heard a Brasilia (EMB 120) on 5 mile final reporting 300 KTS into Class D.

I would imagine it was indicated. But he was on 5 mile final for Rwy 29, ATIS was reporting winds as 30014. Previous ATIS was 29011. Mag Var 14W.lancefisher said:GS or indicated?

Actually I think the SR71 flew a fairly reasonable final. Now the F104 and F105, those honked on final.Len Lanetti said:Hmmm, yep I can hear it now.
ATC "Brasila 123 maintain 300 knots or better to the outer there's a SR71 behind you".

It looks like you are correct about the improbability of 300KIAS, the airspeed envelope is published in the TC Data Sheet on page 9 see:SkykingC310 said:Any chance you misunderstood the transmission? Could have been something to do with heading 300 to intercept final for RWY 29. I don't even think a Brasilia gets close to 300 knots at that low altitude. Side note: Airspeed is reported as indicated to the tower I believe.
Dang it, Adam. What fun are you? Yeah, Flight 3333, 3,000 descending, hdg 300, with 3 pax and 3 chickens onboard, we're 3 minutes late, arrival gate 3 in 3 minutes, local time now 3:33.SkykingC310 said:Any chance you misunderstood the transmission?
