Caveat. I have a had a few pain killers and/or alcohol before posting this.

Good ol' UUWW...

"expect the arrival you've filed for."
If the runway is obviously different, ask early what you expect, otherwise, you'll find out on downwind which isn't enough time to programme every thing.

Do expect 90 deg cuts, so think ahead and slow down well in advance, even to the extent of gear down on "base". If they've cleared you tio 400M, then expect every thing to happen VERY quickly from there on.

Keep the speed well under control as the ILS ain't what you'd normally get in eg London. Also, brief your offsider to expect a PAR and a lot of radio chatter about "gear down" etc.

Enjoy....
