Whats with the approach controller telling us to keep 210 kts to 12 miles, then change to tower who then informs us that windshear is reported ? This then leaves us with having to reconfigure the aircraft for a windshear technique approach, and change in Vapp and to be configured and stabilized by 1500 feet instead of 1000 feet. Is it possible for the approach controller to talk to the tower controller and vice versa and to then realise that a more conservative speed control is now necessary ?
This is by no means an attack on ATC but rather a question about comunication between controllers and whether they are taking actual conditions into account ?
Peace
