When I fly behind an SIA aircraft I feel their approach speed is too slow. Being stable at 1000 feet doesn't mean that you should be at minimum clean at 20 miles and start using flaps at 18. 230 knots at 1500 feet is not that fast, all depends how far you are at 1500 feet . . . Strong headwinds should also be taken into consideration . . .
