In a modern aircraft, flying for a company that requires stabilised at 1000', then 160 to 4 is too fast. Simple as.
Our SOPs (easy) clearly state that if you are instructed to do 160 to 4, then you should reduce speed at 5mn latest. In most cases you need to be reducing at about 5.5 to comply with our SOPs.
Even if you have gear down and full flap you can't do 160 to 4 and be stable at 1000' ? And what aircraft type is that?
