Folks, I fly out of Spain and agree that Spanish ATC is crap!
If you compare them to most other countries in Europe, I think that the Spanish mucho attitude to aviation is the problem. Spanish pilots don’t do speed control. It’s as simple as that.
Over the years, ATC has adapted to get the job completed. And this is what has evolved.
We should be complaining to Euorcontrol, not bitching on pprune!
