I know this is a bit of a moot point with so many approach types available but I've always been a bit perplexed how to choose the timed approach speed for my Cessna 310. The FAF to MAP chart gives times for 60 90 120 etc on non-precision approaches such as NDB and LOC approaches (ground speed). 60 and 90 are too slow for the 310 and 120 is a bit fast especially if the airport were not visible until near the MAP. So do I roar along at 120 or select 105, half way between 90 and 120, which happens to be just above blue line for the 310. That requires a bit of math or estimating to get the correct time for FAF to MAP. How do the pros do it?
