Yep, that's correct, though he will have been cleared to enter some time before.
Which is fine, everyone accesses the airspace on the same basis. However, it does rankle to have access described in terms of sweets dolled out at ATC's discretion, rather than various legitimate users who are organised by ATC to get maximum use out of airspace and runway capacity, safely.
Which is where the thread started - Does Stansted do this as well as they can/should! And possibly can we learn something so as to not p!ss in each other's pots.
