It's funny that no BA airbus crews can achieve what Javelin states can be done by any 320/321 or 330, I assume that's down to different company SOPs and stable approach criteria.
Exactly... and the level of retribution afterwards
It also depends on one's attitude / approach to airmanship / noise / fuel saving etc. Javelin may be hinting at maintaining 160 to 4 in a "high drag" configuration, or using extra drag (speedbrakes, early flap etc.) to then smartly get back from 160 @ 4 and stable by 1000'. But to me, seems little point in you guys gettings us to do CDAs ~4000' to be a little quieter / save a little fuel, to then waste it all and more, and generate far more noise @ 1500'
