Maintain Best Forward Speed

Hi guys. What am I supposed to do if ATC tells me to maintain best forward speed. I recently got ghosted for this so I’m just really curious what I need to do in the future.

Just fly as fast as you can with still having your plane under control in that situation

Like for example on approach fly as fast as you can while still being able to descend properly

@RitzRegis. MaxSez: You where Flying to slow on Approach. Your low speed was disrupting the separation interval & flow of aircraft following you on the approach path. Your Action: Increase your speed to conform to your aircraft characteristics and your ability.

usually if ATC gives you this command, (im assuming it was approach), its because you’re falling behind the aircraft in front of you, and/or you’re getting too close to the aircraft behind you.

either way, for maximum efficiency, the controller will want to keep aircraft as tight as possible, without gaps, while maintaining separation. if you get this command, check your map, and speed up to get back into a suitable position within the pattern.
