Narrative:

Tailwind and aircraft weight resulted in being late to slow to 250 KTS at crossing restr (knole intersection) after descent. Better planning would have precluded this. ATC was advised and acknowledged. Flew 10 KTS fast on final approach and landing due to tailwind. Did not want to pull power near idle to slow because of fear of losing wind at very low altitude with engines unspooled.

Title: B737 CREW DID NOT MAKE THE SPD RESTR AT A XING INTXN.

Narrative: TAILWIND AND ACFT WT RESULTED IN BEING LATE TO SLOW TO 250 KTS AT XING RESTR (KNOLE INTXN) AFTER DSCNT. BETTER PLANNING WOULD HAVE PRECLUDED THIS. ATC WAS ADVISED AND ACKNOWLEDGED. FLEW 10 KTS FAST ON FINAL APCH AND LNDG DUE TO TAILWIND. DID NOT WANT TO PULL PWR NEAR IDLE TO SLOW BECAUSE OF FEAR OF LOSING WIND AT VERY LOW ALT WITH ENGS UNSPOOLED.
