Iberia: A-321 210kts at 3.8nms ......

Report: Iberia A321 and Jet2 B752 at Tenerife on Nov 12th 2011, loss of separation on runway

The report fails to look at the unstable approach by Iberia, i.e 210 kts at 3.8 nms!!

How can a crew possibly fly like this, CONF 1 under 4 miles?? For non Airbus peeps, CONF 3 or FULL at 4 nms with GS of 125 - 150 is more normal (variation for headwind/tailwind)

Frighteningly poor handling by the crew, no wonder the TWR controller didnt achieve the required separation!
