Speed restriction – an airspeed limit associated with a specified altitude or
waypoint.
Waypoint – a point on the route. It can be a fixed point such as a latitude and
longitude, VOR or ADF station, airway intersection, or a non–fixed point such as
a conditional waypoint. A conditional waypoint is not necessarily associated with
a land reference; it reflects a time position, or altitude requirement. An example
of a conditional waypoint is “when reaching 1000 feet.”
