Indeed - good points VH!

We get a lot of aircraft that are not regulars doing smallish mistakes that can cause a bit of chaos.

Very recently, a local operator flew down H7 at 1500ft instead of 1000ft. Therefore there was less than 500ft separation from traffic landing on 27L at LHR - and there were quite a few TCAS probs and losses of separation (gets investigated as a level bust and "airprox" in the same way as two 747s 500ft apart!)

Not trying to put you off - just need to emphasise that prior briefing/famil can save you! Enjoy the views.... but stay on the ball!! I HATE PAPERWORK
