1) This wasn’t near the top of the GS

2) Calibration flights aren’t vectored and sequenced like conventional arrivals

3) This wasn’t even to the runway in use

Take it from someone who knows - yes, conventional arrivals probably do get a little as you stated, where you stated. I don’t however think speculation is appropriate if you’re not familiar with the nature of the operation, which is very different to most “Conventional Aviators” understanding.
