I can understand give and take, and I can understand being told/requested to do orbits to make space for others. But sternone was on final, at 400ft, which in my book would be short final for a cleared landing. If the ATC and following traffic mess up seperation why should sternone be the one made to suffer, and worse, be thrown into an unfamiliar situation at low level? Knowing the 'faster' traffic was coming in why didn't ATC request him to extend his downwind? Was this faster traffic a complete suprise?
