Narrative

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON JUL/TUE/97; BTWN APPROX XA30 AND XB00 LCL TIME. I WAS WORKING THE R54 POS AT ZKC DURING THIS TIME. BTWN APPROX XA30 AND XB00 MY ASSISTANT CTLR (D54) RECEIVED A LAND LINE CALL FROM THE ST LOUIS APCH (T75) TMU (TFC MGMNT UNIT) ADVISING THAT TURBOJET ARR ACFT WERE ENTERING T75 TOO FAST FROM OVER QBALL INTXN. AT THIS TIME TURBOJET ARRS WERE TO CROSS THE QBALL INTXN AT 11000 FT AND 250 KTS. D54 ADVISED ME OF WHAT THE T75 TMU HAD SAID SO I CALLED THEM BACK. I ASKED T75 TMU WHICH ACFT HAD NOT MET THE SPD RESTR AT QBALL. I WAS TOLD THAT (SPD RESTR) WAS NOT THE PROB THAT THE PROB WAS THAT T75 WAS UTILIZING AN LDA APCH AND THAT 250 KTS WAS TOO FAST. I ADVISED T75 TMU THAT I WOULD NOT RESTRICT TURBOJET ARR ACFT TO A SPD LESS THAN 250 KTS AS PER FAA ORDER 7110.65 (PARAGRAPH 5; SECTION 7). T75 TMU RESPONDED SINCE I WOULD NOT SLOW THE ARR TURBOJET ACFT BELOW 250 KTS THAT I WAS TO HOLD START HOLDING WITH AN INBOUND ACR. AT THIS TIME I HAD NUMEROUS INBOUND TURBOJETS AND HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO KEEP THEM VERTLY SEPARATED; KEEP THEM CLR OF T75; AND CLR THEM INTO HOLDING. IN ADDITION AT LEAST 2 OF THE INBOUND TURBOJETS WERE ALREADY PAST THE HOLDING FIX INBOUND ON THE ARR. T75 TMU'S ADVERSARIAL ACTIONS CREATED A DANGEROUS SIT FOR THE CTLRS AND ACFT INVOLVED.
