Yes, precisely.
I would suggest that the majority of Int'l arrivals these days are not Heavy's.
The Int'l crew who are infrequent to one prt or another seem a little bewildered at times why they are flying an extra 10+ track miles in severe CAVOK. Often by the time they ask for a visual it is too late to change the sequence. The regulars slowly seem to be realising to ask prior to to TOD.
Who decided Heavies exc Aust/NZ registered would be treated this way? Another faceless/nameless decision? Just curious.
(All seems a bit dumbed down when you see the 727 freighters joining 3 nm left base at 0300 local.)
