Unfortunately we just met the glide slightly ahead of the loc. I tried to pre-empt this by asking for further descent having been given the 'call localiser established' - so no permission to descend with the glide (like lots of controllers do) - couldn't get a word in ....
Just was a bit messy.
I accept that there is LCY to consider. However if vectors are tight as yesterday's was, then 'call localiser established' is going to end in tears ...As we fight to get that call in ....whilst the glide comes and goes...
Don't mind what final we get really as long as we are generally below the glide as we capture the loc. Capturing the glide from above is taught, but finger trouble can catch out the unprepared and the 319 slows up like a crisp packet in a breeze.....
Dont get me wrong - you guys are great (particuarly Marmite!) - just was a little surprised yesterday. ( to be fair, it might have been controller training)
