Hello to all
I would like to clarify a few things.
1. When a pilot requests a short approach; what is that exactly? Is it 2 or 3 miles from final approach? ATC's were taught, that a pilot has to be vectored for a 10-12nm final approach.
2.At AUH we don't have the facility for the pilot to position himself on final approach. I suggest that you request a visual approach should you prefer to position yourself for final approach.
