Twr --G-CD can you orbit on final so I can get one away?
G-CD Confirm you are aware this is a public transport flight, close to max landing weight.?
Why does this happen (orbiting aircraft after they are on final)? llanfairpg clearly didn't think it was a good idea for a professional flight to do this, and in a previous thread we have seen it is not a good idea for a student to do this, so who should say anything other than 'unable' or 'going around'?
I wasn't aware there was a priority distinction between Public and Private transport in the provision of ATC services.
