B737 CREW IS INSTRUCTED BY THE TWR TO CONTACT APCH CTL WHILE ON A TWO MI FINAL TO RECEIVE A LECTURE ON SPEED ADJUSTMENTS.

Narrative

APCHING MIA; MIA APCH CTL INSTRUCTED US TO INTERCEPT RWY 9R LOC; CLRED FOR ILS 9R. WE HAD BEEN TOLD WE WERE NUMBER 1 FOR THE RWY IN A PREVIOUS XMISSION; BUT WERE NOT REPEAT; NOT GIVEN ANY SPEED RESTRS. APCHING GRITT; APPROX 7 DME FROM THE END OF THE RWY AT 250 KIAS; WE BEGAN TO DECELERATE TO FLY THE GS. WE WERE AT VREF PLUS 5; 145 KIAS; ABOUT 5 MILES FROM TOUCHDOWN. CONTACTED TWR AND WE WERE CLRED TO LAND. AT 600 AGL; APPROX 2 MI FROM TOUCHDOWN; TWR XMITTED. ACR X CONTACT DEP CTL. WE TOLD THEM WE WERE ON SHORT FINAL. TWR THEN TOLD US APCH NEEDED TO TALK TO US AND CONTACT THEM ON 120.5. FO WENT OVER THINKING SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I STAYED ON TWR. APCH THEN LECTURED THE FO ON OUR SLOWDOWN AND TOLD HIM WE WERE EXPECTED TO KEEP THE SPEED UP. ON SPEED ON FINAL ON A CLRED ILS IS NOT UNREASONABLE AND TO BE TOLD TO CONTACT APCH CTL AT 2 MI FINAL IS INCREDIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL. WE LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AND NOTHING ELSE WAS SAID BY ATC. WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS OTHERWISE; IT IS MY SKY AND MY RWY. LEAVING THE TWR FREQ ON 2 MI FINAL IS UNREASONABLE.
