For normal arrivals to KNGP, slow to 200 KIAS at which fix?

• A. 180 KIAS at PT SHAMROCK
• B. 200 KIAS at PT SHAMROCK
• C. 210 KIAS at CH 6
• D. 170 KIAS at Woodsboro

Answer: (B)

The key idea is following the published speed at the designated fix on the normal arrival to KNGP. For a stable, safe approach, you slow to 200 KIAS by the PT SHAMROCK fix. This keeps you on the published arrival profile and gives you proper spacing and configuration for the final approach. Slowing earlier to 180 KIAS at PT SHAMROCK would be unnecessarily slow and could affect spacing; going 210 KIAS at CH 6 or 170 KIAS at Woodsboro does not meet the required speed at the correct point, risking a deviation from the arrival procedure.
