my dream:
"zzz approach good evening, abc123 level xxx descending level xxx, information Y."
"abc123 salam aleikum, cleared 3000 feet, cleared maddog-1c approach, report established."
"abc123 cleared 3000 feet and maddog-1c approach, will report established."
everything is clear, the atis code was identified as correct, thus rwy in use and qnh are known,
the sid clearance issued and read back correctly. if no vector will be assigned, abc123
will call established and will then be tranferred to twr.
not rocket science and standard r/t. all it needs is a intelligent layout of airspace,
star/sid and coordination between atc centers. different a/c speeds and conflicting incoming
traffic would be separated as follows: on the star/sid the speeds are mandatory, begin of star 300kts,
below fl100 250kts, within 25nm/td 220kts, 15nm 190kts, 8nm 170kts, the star's are designed as tubes with
~2.5°descent slope (sid's between ~2° and 6°), therefore fixed altitudes and speeds are flown throughout the int appr and to separate incoming conflicting traffic there are 4 different tubes (maddog-1a,1b,1c,1d)
each one 2nm longer, which can be assigned to sequence the following a/c without vectoring.
there would be a lot less blah blah's, re-reconfirmations, may we's, unable's, misunderstandings and
no more need to boast your superiour a/c type.
the one's not coping with the layed-out constraints could be given a escape vector, just to start and try the procedure all over again. they won't screw up twice!
but as i said: my dream ......... too many narrow minded and short sighted ego's around this place.
