We certainly don't have a problem with 160 to 4 on the wonderbus and our final approach speed can be as low as 120 kts. The only difference is we might start slowing at 4.5d like the others to ensure we're doing 160 kts with the engines at idle as we pass 4d. It's not a problem in turbulence or windshear either, but that could be because Vfe for our landing flap setting is 177 kts! On a slightly similar note over the last few days at LHR I've had two seperate controllers tell me we was getting increased spacing as we were following a 757. Thats a new one on me!

BTW who do I call to visit the tower?
