The lead aircraft will slow down and the trailing aircraft with begin to close in. This is the compression he was talking about. That's why you add the extra mile for compression
As a controller for more than 30 years... This is a great though experiment. Now throw it away. It should never be taught or even appear on a test. In real life, you don't control aircraft by making these calculations with each one. You learn from experience what works. Real controllers, good controllers don't do this. We don't need it.
Al, you’re the best.
Awesome. Thanks for posting this. KMAF
Very thank u very , useful !
This would have saved me a ton of time if I knew this during my educations....
This has been very helpful any more information you could direct me to, for app speed control?
what will happen after 4 mile final where no speed control exist ?

Just use C to A its worked for Chicago Tracon for the last 70 years and you dont even need to see the ground speed
now add Recat 1.5
I think you need a simple radar math video game.
NASA Has a good one I know.
twice speed = twice distance + 3. Boom easy math
808Gamble808 nothing extra for compression?
@@superking7135 I've been out of the game for a minute, but yeah I think you would want to add one for compression.
Plus any applicable wake turbulence.
