Perhaps ASNO meant to say streaming and not sequencing.

ACC has no requirement to sequence the traffic at DXB. All they must do is stream the traffic according to what DXB stipulates from time to time.

If individuals at ACC are trying to work out the sequence and apply speed control and so on based on what they think the sequence should be, then I reckon there are going to be some pretty p1$$ed-off pilots out there. I have previously read postings on these pages where pilots are b1tch1ng about being given high speed by ACC and then immediately get told by DXB to hit the brakes or traffic slowed down by ACC and then on first contact with DXB get "Best Speed direct to ..."

A big part of the problem was eluded to by Granny Smith (I think) when he/she stated that DXB is published as a CTA and not a TMA. By definition, DXB should be a TMA.

Side Note:
Hey Late Landing, you still hanging around the DXB discussions eh? Compliments of the season to you and yours. How is the weather ?
