MLS, thank for your advice, I’ll pass that on the controller next time he tells me to ‘make a strait in approach and call long final’ (and sorry… don’t know why I put an s on the end of final!).
Like I said, I stand to be corrected. I can only pass comment on my experiences when I’ve flown out there! (However I think there are quite a few airports out there that would be just a little p1ssed off if you were to “stay off the frequency until you're closer in”) – MLS, sorry to single you out… It’s not a personal attack!
Fly safe.
