Screw 'busy airports' forcing people to fly faster than is safe. If those in the tower can't cope with normal approach speeds for the type in question, that's their problem - they should have arranged appropriate spacing in the first place.

As for that 'report', what sort of idiot tries to conduct flight instruction with a wind of 09G37 with Cbs, virga and reported windshear at an airport with an elevation of nearly 4900 ft?

That sounds like an ideal roto streaming scenario. In usch circumstances, all bets are off for those of us flying puddlejumpers.
