OK quick question here, maybe I am reading too much into it. All hypothetical of course.
Given a speed assignment of 310 knots on the Korry 3 into LGA.
Around halfway thru the arrival you are told:
"At Brand reduce speed to 250 knots" or "Slow to 250 knots at BRAND", one or the other, I can't remember the exact wording.
I would take this to mean keep 310 until BRAND and then slow there.
I've only heard ATC give speed restrictions in regards to "cross BRAND at 250 knots". That is pretty self explanatory. I've never heard this clearance before.
Thoughts? Way off base here? Just something I hypothetically hadn't encountered yet.
