Many FCTMs (Flight Crew Training Manuals) for the B72,73,75,76, DC-9 and MD-80 depict slats and flaps 5 at 210 kts. as the "happy spot" for entering a visual traffic pattern. Do we slow below 210, usually, but there's a clear disconnect with how the manufacturer and the FAA wants the airplane flown.
The real world airport examples is a huge help.
Thanks I am glad it was helpful.
Great video, its very easy to forget the 200kts on climb out in higher performing aircraft

On the RSW example descent from the north, why would the speed limit of 200 kts not be @2500 as opposed to 1500 AGL assuming within 4 nm?
Just to clarify the question was what speed do you need to fly at 1500 ft. You are correct to be at 200kts at 2500 feet within 4nm.
So glad you made these videos, all these questions are asked on many interviews. Thank you!.👍👍
To this day I do not understand why this has to be so f-ing complicated. Why can't it simply be 200kts?
