Interesting stuff for me here......
Without going into details I'm involved in doing specs for a planned AMAN system. Done lots off studies on available material, primarilly eurocontrol stuff....EATCHIP docs, feasability studies etc. One off the things we are pondering about is advanced advisories for optimization off final spacing, and I've read all I've come over about pFast in the US, and also FAST(NATS). Reading the comments from Scott Voigt and others (in particular Gonzos in this thread) gives me a clear understanding these systems didn't deliver as expected. Being an approach controller myself I'm also very sceptical to implement too many "bells and whistles" into our system, especially considering the place I'm at has veery adverse and changing wx/wind conditions and other variables.....
In short I think our focus will be kept on optimizing the inbound streams in a way that doesn't conflict with our "handywork"
