Folks how about we have a read of the incident before we comment.
If people had read what happened they would realise they were stuffed around by ATC with multiple changes then got distracted by the changes.
Then you throw in all the other issues such as remaining in controlled airspace and company speed restrictions all whilst doing over 5 miles a minute makes it very different to flying a 152. To even suggest that shows a lack of understanding of the problems at hand.
An easy solution is to have visual STARS that deliver you in nice and close but so some reason in Australia we can't do that.
I think a time is coming in Australia when all these ' track via STAR cross fix at time X/250 knots followed by speed up /slow down/ max speed/ cancel speed restrictions cancel STAR track direct to final call the tower' is just going to be met with 'negative'.
