New type to the fleet, so how much time on type might be a consideration. Work overload, trying to make an A-350 slow to minimum speed in a few miles. Don't know the aircraft but I remember when London ATC tried to use what they considered normal separation behind a 747's when the DC-10 first started flying to LHR. Didn't work out so well for the DC-10 with a go arounds occurring frequently until ATC learned of the higher min. approach speed of the DC-10.
