I know for a fact Ryanair fly very fast approaches into DUB. I operate into there occasionally from LGW, and on one occasion we had a line up clearance cancelled after the ATCO reported an aircraft at 13 miles out doing 300 knots! We waited, and sure enough a Ryanair 737 came into view on the approach
but that is the radar controllers "mistake". Surely soemthing like "Speed 180kts or less" from 20 miles would have helped you get airborne!
don't they use speed control in DUB? or maybe the Approach guys like stitching up there tower controllers!!!
