Re: Handover already cleared to land

I'd suggest you ring the folks at Benson & arrange a visit. Make it a long one so you get to watch a PAR from the other end. Oh, and DON'T FORGET THE CHOCCIE BISCUITS!!!
Good idea - had already thought of that. Will give NeilMac a ring. Choccie biccies go without saying.

Edited to add-
When you're on the centreline at 8 miles, the only place you can go is off it. Thus we are taught to keep a small closing heading to about a 2-mile final (depending on the type of a/c), nibbling away at it until you converge. Works a treat!
Now that is interesting, and I can see the point, too. In which case she did a fantastic job. The chap in the RH seat, mind you, was ex Oxford UAS and he thought we were a bit too far left, but he's used to A319/A320 now so I guess he's a bit rusty...
