Wasn't the operational style of ATC not already mentioned in the Turkish airlines report? Might as well be included in this investigation..

I am with you on this one, I have always found taxi procedures at this relatively complex airport lacking and unclear. Fine if you are one of the hometown lot or there daily, but for us who come there 5-10 times pr year, less so. They could improve their guidance and procedures. Crossing 18C/36C or passing south of it is sometimes unclear. Jepp charts really no good help for lack of references (which would come from the Dutch).

As for Schiphol arrival procedures, they usually want you fairly fast until close to final. Works fine for me.
