Ref the 2600ft - 100kts, anyone have any info on what the gate should have been (to e.g. level out at 500ft?) if the move was intended to be a 1/4 clover.
I assume that if 2600ft/100kts was the actual height/speed, the fate of the AC was already set at the apex?
I'm not trying to invite speculation as to why the gate may have been missed.
PS I took SD to mean a minority of pilots who are over defensive, rather than all pilots. There certainly are some of those, and they are a minority, thankfully, but often quite noisy. The most professional/'best' pilots are almost never in that category in my experience.
