Why accept the visual approach? Why don't ask for a 360 to loose hight? Do you have an ideea about the noise landing gear makes inside the plane when extended at high speed? Do you tell the pax you'll extend the gear,so they should expect very high noise and maybe vibration? I bet not....
So ,again ,why should one accept and perform such a manouvre? We have a strict data monitoring program ,and I suppose after few of these approaches , a talk will take place between the company CIFS and that particular airport officials.
I know that some controllers, and unfortunatelly pilots also , think that we are flying fighters.We are not.
