ATC flight deck training returns

Yeah, it would be nice to have some experience from the corporate side. I have had some odd requests because the jet in front of you was able to do it. The Globals are a bit slower than other aircraft in its class, and we have to remind controllers that when we hear them line up a Lear or Challenger behind us, there could be a 40-knot speed differential down final. Lots of please speed up but I can't when I am coming in very light, and my REF is 99 knots.

In a 2000lxs/6x… when they ask us to slow to final a longs ways out- we always ask if they are sure lol. SR-22’s catch us on final just about.

Can always give a controller a ride if they happen to be in MHT.

Yeah we were going into MSY and right before we switched to tower we were told to slow to final since traffic in front of us had "dropped the anchor." Turns out it was a Falcon, I had to tell the FO that its ref is just over 100 knots if it is light.

Still miss the Falcon though, such a delight to fly.

107 Vapp with the 5 knot wind buffer added 90% of the time. Calm winds and were usually about 102 unless tankering.
