Distance from landing strip - 4.5 N. miles, speed 360 knots against required speed of 160 knots, the PiC declares and assures (ATC) to land safely. ATC permits. But had to do a go-around ! Was it a case of FUI flying under influence (of illusions) ? And on whose part ? The PiC or the ATC ?
Second class airline with second class pilots, ATC second class just like the EU and private. Should have caught the high speed and relayed it giving the PIC a go around. Other AC should have been advised also. Happens too often around the world.

And on whose part ?
The PiC or the ATC ?
