Why does an apple taste different to an Orange?? They are both a round piece of fruit arent they?
That is what you are trying to compare after all charter pilot. Consider some of the possible variables:
traffic density, mix of acft types (wake turb, closing speeds), effect of terrain and subsequent distances for IAF, distance between parallel runways (SIMOPS,IVA,etc.), high speed exits?(extra spacing needed), full length taxiiways? Military airspace?,airlines schedules (dont get me going on that gem (airport FULL -- airport EMPTY,airport FULL -- airport EMPTY), the lsits and reasons are endless.
As for can we make the procedures the same? Man I widh we could do that just in one city or one country let alone inthe whole world. ICAO is supposed to do that, it has the same rate of change as every other part of the UN.
One important piece of info for you: ATC people like Pilots get satisfaction out of doing a job with maximumefficiency and least fuss -- they do not set oout to screw you around just like you dont set out to throw down the gear at a hi speed or throw out the speed brakes, make lots of noise in the cabin and scare the punters....remember, ATC don't delay aircraft : other aircraft delay aircraft.
