ATC gave me a speed restriction, “Daher 930 keep speed below 210 knots.”

I was, wha? Wha?

Never has default ATC given me a speed restriction!

Is this new? Anyone experienced it before? Am I hearing things?

I was on  IFR approach into KISM descending to 2000 ft from FL110.

Below 10,000 ft. and at 243 knots so I wasn’t busting 250 under 10.

I’m extremely happy 😃— but I’m still not sure if it’s real...🤔

Its cool ain't it. Depending on how busy the airport or airspace is, it slows you down for separation. Happens quite often if you file ifr

So, I think this is new. Anyone ever have this happen using FSX or P3D?

    I have had it happen in P3D and FS 2020.  I don't recall if it happened in FSX.  😊  In P3D that might have been a function of Pilot 2 ATC.  Too old, my memory doesn't go back that far.  😂

This is very new to me too.  I find it a little annoying when flying a  C172 or lesser aircraft. Also I only get it on departure and if flying the Longtitude for instance they never give me a clearance above 10000 feet to any speeds at all.  I have never experienced a speed restriction on arrival but I am always below 250 on descent below 10000 feet.

It just seems strange because they know what sort of aircraft you are in and I have yet to see a Cessna 172 with a couple of Pratt and Whitney jets strapped to the back seat for instance ... an interesting thought??

The speed restrictions are never enforced anyway, so I cannot really see the point in them.  I have never used any addon ATC and I am wondering if these sorts of instructions are in those.  I also note, and again with some annoyance, that regardless of what flight level you plan on, ATC will ignore what you want and I have yet to complete a flight at the flight level I wanted and planned for.

I have also, in my trusty and completely unoriginal Cessna 172 been directed by ATC to FL230.  I had to check again for the aforementioned P and Ws in the back seat. 

Quite hilarious at times, and whilst somewhat annoying, it is not a deal breaker and I can quite happily cancel IFR when they tell me to do something stoopid.

I love this game ... we were never entertained like this in any other sim.

Nothing new. Was there from the beginning. "Keep speed under...."

Yeah, exactly, have always had atc call out speed restrictions. I am mainly flying the A320 in and out of the UK.

I am wondering that too. Im back to sim after quite a while, but recall

that RC had some kind of speed/space restriction in a later version i think. VoxATC looks like

another one with focus on voice command.

Have a search ATC add-on in Avsim and search engine there looks like a few programs around.

   I have seen that too where ATC doesn't seem to know the capabilities of your aircraft.  Another one that has been around for quite a while is the, "Please hurry up your climb/descent".  I could if I was flying and F-16.  😉

I got yelled at multiple times when IFR to PARO on a RNAV approach (maybe 15 I forgot)

ATC gave me the following restrictions/directions at least

* Speed limit 230

* Speed limit 180

* Speed limit 145

Circling approach using RNAV 15 to land on 33

 

I GG'd at the circling part ...

my incredulity was that I had never heard one in sim...

I've gotten them a few times. Sometimes they make sense (slowing my cj4 down to 2xx) and sometimes they don't (telling me to stay below 250 in a plane that can't hit 250 in a dive).

Yeah I think speed restrictions have been in since launch.

Funny I just had this last night for this first time too. I was shocked as well lol never had it happen before.

Like when I file a low altitude IFR flight plan for 8000 ft  from kpdx to ksea in my C208, and they immediately tell me to climb and maintain 18000.  Sorry, TRACON but I have passengers in the back of this unpressurized cabin and not enough O2 for all of them.

Just to add here, VOXATC also issues speed restrictions.
