Hi
CuitoCuanavale
you are right...it looks like it's hard to find the correct way of this kind of instuction unless reading the documents that you stated above.
and as for this controller(he is a very close freind) i called him recently...but i didn't mention anything about that day...neither he did.
i noticed that he is assertive that he is right....and he is not accepting me pointing his mistake.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
once before...
another controller (
not a freind) gave me this instruction before he change me to the tower ..
he said ...
maintain speed 180kts till 6 miles then 160kts till 4 miles !!!.
later on....after leaving the aircraft and was going back to the dispatch office in the airport...i called the control tower and i asked the guy who answered that i need to speak to the approach controller.
i talked to him and i told him what you did is not right ...and he said... why ?
i said ...you can't give two speed restriction that are 2 miles apart...you either say maintain 180kts till 10 miles then 160kts till 4 miles..
or..
to say....maintain 180kts till 6 miles.
because most of the jet aircrafts ( airbuses & boeings ) needs about 1 mile to wash 10 kts off the speed scale "this is ofcourse while descending on the glide which is the worse case scenario"
so when we pass the 6 miles by 180kts...then we are going to reduce to the final approach speed...and we will pass the 4 miles around 160-150kts...
then he said.....Mmmmmm...thank you very very much...now i got it...and he said...this is a promise that i will not do it again.
by the end of the day...we are all human...and we all do mistakes...and the good part that we should learn from our mistakes and accept the others opinions.
Thanks Every One.
