AN ACR MD80 CREW SPEEDED UP THEIR ACFT TOO SOON ACCORDING TO THE ZNY RADAR CTLR.

Narrative

ABOUT 20 MI W OF FQM VOR ON FQM1 ARR TO EWR; WE WERE GIVEN A HDG OF 170 DEGS AND INSTRUCTED TO SLOW AS MUCH AS PRACTICAL. WE WERE GIVEN A HDG WHICH TOOK US ALMOST DIRECT TO FQM VOR AND TOLD TO INCREASE SPD TO 300 KTS UPON REINTERCEPTING THE ARR. THE INTERCEPT HDG OF APPROX 60 DEGS GAVE US NEARLY A 60 DEG INTERCEPT ANGLE ON THE COURSE OUTBOUND FROM FQM. I WAS MAKING MY FINAL PA TO THE PAX WHEN THE CLRNC TO REINTERCEPT WAS GIVEN. SINCE I ALWAYS CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE ATC RADIO WHEN GIVING A PA; I HEARD THE INSTRUCTIONS. JUST S OF THE VOR; WE BEGAN A TURN TO INTERCEPT THE 118 DEG RADIAL FROM FQM AND THE FO LET THE SPD INCREASE TO 300 KTS IN THE TURN. WE CONSIDERED OURSELVES BACK ON THE ARR AT THIS POINT. ZNY THEN CALLED AND ASKED OUR AIRSPD WHICH WE STATED WAS 300 KTS. CTR THEN SAID WE WERE TO HAVE REMAINED AT THE REDUCED SPD UNTIL ON COURSE SO HE GAVE US ANOTHER VECTOR FOR SPACING. WE FELT WE HAD COMPLIED WITH THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS SINCE WE WERE TURNING TO INTERCEPT COURSE WHEN WE BEGAN OUR SPD INCREASE. APPARENTLY CTR WANTED US ESTABLISHED ON THE OUTBOUND RADIAL BEFORE THE SPD WAS INCREASED.
