You controllers will LOVE this....
I just sent a student for a Multi-ride in a Turbo Aztec...not the greatest twin but will fly an approach at 120kts nicely with an inexperienced pilot at the helm. So anyhow, the guy passes but the examiner chastises me for having him do apch's at 120 and not 90 (blueline).
My reply? "Well ATC sees the twin and often asks them to keep the speed up to keep the flow smooth." To this, the examiner points his favourite finger in the air and screams "F*ck Em! They're their for us....if we want to do it at 90 kts we will, who cares what they think!"
So, next time a guy crawls down the pipe with a 50kt groundspeed....blame the students examiner...not the pilot!
