One exception: I was flying back to Charlotte in a C-402 one morning with

Did you try telling the controller "unable due to equipment problems"?



Sure... right after I rolled by the turnoff. Frankly, if I'd been allowed to
make my approach at normal speeds I probably would have made it. The controller
dumped me off 1/2 mile from the approach end of the runway still at cruise
speed. It served him right. If it was that big of a problem, he should have
put me behind the USAirways jet; I wouldn't have complained. Charlotte wasn't
busy at that time of day and I was home.
