Thanks for the replys guys........

Kilo Kilo, where does it say 1000 FPM?.......just wondering

Now ATCO people, I heard a story told that you guys might have a chuckle about (dont shoot the messenger..its just what I heard)

"Approach fastair 123 maintaining altitude 7000ft"
"fastair 123 reduce speed 180kts turn left 270, descend altitude 3000ft...15 track miles"
"ahhhh approach...thats a bit tight for us"
"fastair 123, can't you use your speed brakes?"....apparently the reply came back as quick as a flash...
"speedbrakes are for our mistakes...not yours "
