I used to operate into this airport and it always required a great deal of attention.
ATC talk very quickly and get impatient when you tell them to "Say again slowly"
Actually this would often be rewarded with an even faster and LOUDER reply which was of no use to anyone requiring further clarification, and more wasted time. The whole place is frustrating.
Remember a colleague telling me they had been cleared to cross 36R once at H4, no mention of the A330 going past the window, and then having given it a reasonable margin....it had now passed in front of them, being shouted at by ATC to expedite, the A330 hasn't even vacated 36R yet so they couldnt have given the aircraft on final ( about 5 miles ) clearance to land yet anyway
Regularly told to change frequency before the gear is even up and then followed by umpteen step climbs, 900M, 1200m, 1500m, is just asking for mistakes.
Not surprised this incident happened at all, ATC need to slow down, stop shouting and be civil
Someone said China was going to be all english speaking by the end of 2017, any truth in that?
