You would be correct.
The number of accidents in this region from weddings and arrivals at, what the yanks would call "prom", is concerning.
Almost always it is a PPL friend, or friend of a friend, sometimes even a wet behind the ears comm pilot grabbing another hour.
This is what you get when you want to make an arrival at low-to-no cost.
Wish granted.
