Hi,

Today we got our first crash information. Unfortunately the fault was from that controller who told him to descend too much on that zone. The same thing happened to Miko, but he got more lucky.

I had the same problem when flying to Malaga! The approach controller told me several times to descent to an altitude below the minimum sector altitude. I advised him he was wrong but I guess he didn't understand or just didn't care. Fortunately I had visual conditions with the terrain and that was the reason I did descent according to his instructions.
Ah, another thing... he told me to fly the minimum approach speed because of an A320 10nm ahead!... Well, I bet the 737 that was following me had some fun trying not to stall. As usual I ended up accelerating regardless of the controller instruction. It was either that or cause a fellow pilot some unnecessary difficulties. I really don't know how it is allowed for people so badly skilled to control the approach position on IVAO.

Cheers,
João
