One of the things that has changed over the last thirty years or so is much greater regulatory control over speed on descent and approach.
That’s a good thing because rushed approaches and runway over-runs are obviously a major risk factor.
But, and its a big but, it means that many new pilots have no idea about what their aircraft can actually do.
A mandatory exercise in every endorsement program should be
“Positioned on extended downwind with 22 nm to run , at 1500’ AGL , 320 kts. Objective : stable in landing configuration at 1000’. Handing over......”
Repeat till proficient.
Not possible on the line nowadays sadly but it would give trainees confidence by showing what the aircraft can do.
Would mean at lot less anxiety on the line when things go off the rails.
