There was a notice to the approach controllers in Terminal Control a little while ago saying we should treat the "normal" approach speeds of the 777-300 (when being speed controlled by ATC) as 230, 190 and then 170 to 5.
I suspect some of my colleagues may have forgotten this and might need reminding. Maybe EK should have a word with TC Ops if they perceive a problem here, though hopefully more tactfully than whoever it was called us cr@p a page or two back
Finally, Heathrow is the proverbial quart into the pint pot and missed approaches are a fact of life. They could of course be consigned to a rarity indeed, but that would mean landing rates routinely in the mid 30s instead of 40+ an hour.
