Narrative:

We were originally told to expect lda runway 28R. This was changed to bay ILS runway 28L on downwind. On base leg it was changed back to lda runway 28R. As a result, the workload was much higher than it should have been. The briefing pages are too long, information is duplicated. It could and should be condensed to 1 page, or less. Items common to both approachs listed in 1 paragraph, differences in another section. No information was given on the relative speed of the aircraft. As a result, our higher speed was maintained longer than we would have if we had known the difference in our speeds then it was a scramble to slow down enough to keep from passing the lead aircraft, which was a kingair.

Title: APCH EVALUATION.

Narrative: WE WERE ORIGINALLY TOLD TO EXPECT LDA RWY 28R. THIS WAS CHANGED TO BAY ILS RWY 28L ON DOWNWIND. ON BASE LEG IT WAS CHANGED BACK TO LDA RWY 28R. AS A RESULT, THE WORKLOAD WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE BRIEFING PAGES ARE TOO LONG, INFO IS DUPLICATED. IT COULD AND SHOULD BE CONDENSED TO 1 PAGE, OR LESS. ITEMS COMMON TO BOTH APCHS LISTED IN 1 PARAGRAPH, DIFFERENCES IN ANOTHER SECTION. NO INFO WAS GIVEN ON THE RELATIVE SPD OF THE ACFT. AS A RESULT, OUR HIGHER SPD WAS MAINTAINED LONGER THAN WE WOULD HAVE IF WE HAD KNOWN THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR SPDS THEN IT WAS A SCRAMBLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM PASSING THE LEAD ACFT, WHICH WAS A KINGAIR.
