Having operated frequently this time last year and early this year into Bom in a B763 Ive seen some really wierd controlling. They dont tend to use speed as a seperating factor, its headings frequent 360 turns at high level(370) then told to fly 220kts then free speed maintain orbit, then told tighten up the turn.................No Idea about radius. Have turned finals 27 at 46 nm then told to fly faster. How fast? FAST.

Theres also jackal type dogs on the airfield they live off scraps of food and peoples excrement that come across the fence to send their faxes!!

The tower controller screamed at us when we told him we needed a backtrack, we had told the ground controller. When we pointed this out he just said "well u didnt tell me and now u will delay arrival of aircraft 12 miles out"!!!!!!!

Fun Times!
