during approach props can keep their speed up for much longer than a jet can. Seems a whole generation of ATCOs have not learned that yet !!
So true. It also seems like a lot of them just dont want to learn.
I was watching a girl try and squeeze an A320 ahead of a Saab2000 the other day. What a nightmare. Eventually had to reduce the Saab to 220kts at about 60miles to make it work. The bus didnt want to go faster than 290kts and she initially told the Saab that he could pole along at own speed, not knowing(due lack of interest) that he is shunting along at 275kts!!! Told me to
off when I repeatedly said "told you so" afterward.
