ATCO tiptoes in again.
What sort of procedure calls for 1800 ft at 5 miles, to achieve a <3º glide path, with a request to maintain 180 kts until that point?
Oh, SFO does … with 5 miles to go, you are now c. 40 kts fast and
already above the GP.
As a radar controller, if I ever demanded someone do that, my ears would burn.
And then the FD is expected to stabilise?
May I ask who signs off the plates for a visual to SFO 28L?
Regardless of the ins and outs of this case, that seems to me to be … ummm … stupid?
