I was only trying to say we don't have proof the IB conducted an unstable approach.
CP, please don't read what it did not write. I said flying a decelerated approach, day after day and always be stable between 5 and 600 ft is indeed a skill. Nowhere did I say 210 at 4 is skilled, I said: "it is FAST, but in certain conditions it is possible"

KTT, if after 15 years on the Airbus you think you should be between 125 and 150 at 4nm in order to be stable at 500, I know which airline you are flying for. The one who is well known by controllers and pilots for slowing down very very early. I was behind one of yours last week, he was at 15nm at 190kts and asked to keep the speed up, due traffic 3nm behind, with a minimum of 160 to 4. At 12nm the controller asked his speed: "160", at 4 he claimed to be still at 160, but we had 150 and we were still catching up. we went around...
