Firstly - Calm Down
Secondly......
Plate 10-1P1 Jepps
2.1 Speed Adjustments !UNDER RADAR CONTROL!
Max 250knts below FL100
Reduce to 210 at the beginning of final turn to intercept the ILS LOC Course, when acft is located within 20NM of THR
**** 180 KT when crossing 12NM from locator ******
160 KT when crossing GM lctr.
The only reason I got to hear the exchange on the R/T was the fact that controller was asking him to speed up due to trafic behind. We often get asked for 220 with a late closing heading that takes us through the LOC cutting the corner at MAR down to 5500.
Terminal thread drift but he (The A319) had probably been LOC established west of MAR.
Thirdly - With all your zillions of years of flying "707/757/767" you might have learnt a few manners - no need to be rude. I am always very suspicious when people have to announce their types and hours/ years flying to prove their point...
