He confirmed that the NWZ starts and ends at the marker. We should be at headway speed by the time we reach the marker entering the NWZ, and should remain at headway speed until we pass the marker leaving a NWZ.

I asked because current behavior, like that often observed leaving Meredith, seemed to indicate that I needed to be on plane by the time I got to the NWZ marker. He joked, "Only if you want to talk to me again."
