Let's all pitch in and help the guys in ATC.

180kts to 10nm and 160kts to 4 nm is achievable. If you can do it in EDDM, EDDF, EGLL, EGKK, LFPG etc. I am sure we can all do it here at our home base. You just have to forget/give up the idea of "Decelerated/Delayed Flap Approach". Too bad you may have to dangle everything out but that's the cost of doing business in a very tight environment/busy airspace.

Another reason guys end up unstable is the failure to trade altitude for speed and vv. - simple distance x 3. How often have you seen guys with 10 plus track miles to go and at 2000 feet get clearances to 1500 - seem to like to continue the descent at 180 knots instead of chopping speed first maintaining level flight.

Already below profile, need to slow down pronto, chop speed first then descent.
