For example, some aircraft limit flaps and gear in icing until on approach or forbid the use of speed brakes or require a minimum thrust setting. Higher TAS = different category aircraft = higher MDA) A higher TAS does yield a larger turn radius, even in the same aircraft approach category. What speed on final approach?
