Thanks all good information. basically the ATC procedures at Dubai cause problems. We know that, but are getting nowhere trying to make or have any input to make things better.
Basically the impetious is going to have to come from Emirates, start making more comments on flight reports, regarding excessive vectoring, poor descents, speed reduction/increases etc!!! We are all on the same side I for one hate the procedures here, knowing that basically we cannot provide the ATC service that the controllers at Dubai are capable of.
Sorry to say phase 16 work on the runway will make things worse!!!!
160 knots downwind, controller has cocked it up!!!!!
