Thanks for the head up. I had one query / crib. We are a 737 operator from the sub-continent and a frequent sight at DXB. During night times, there are occasions when we are #2 behind a A380. At times we have to ask for extra separation from the super as the APP tends to position us about 4-5 NM behind. Now the problem we face is that our approach speed are higher [typically 155 KIAS] than the A380 and closer to the runway we end up catching up with the wake and it is no fun at 100 feet. Could it be possible for the APP guys to keep this in mind the next time they vector us behind a Super??

Cheers
