Sometimes I find JHB tower a little cumbersome. Questions like "do you have the xxx on short final in sight?" Most other ATC's in South Africa, and abroad say, "behind the landing xxx, or xxx on short final, line up (behind)..." They assume pilots can see an aircraft when its moments from touchdown. Why do only JHB atc ask this?
Often feel like saying something to the effect that "my eyes are not so good and I can't see the aircraft!"
