Throw a die,
What do CPA do going into Heathrow in the same situation? Divert to Amsterdam knowing ''we're a bit tight on fuel'' phrase won't work too well in the LTMA.
Quit trying to bring in UK thinking. This is one area where HK have their s### sorted.
No delay in the UK is 20 minutes or less holding
This explanation of "No Delay" makes me laugh ! It is right up there with fully ready ! Why stop there, there should be "inconvenient delay" = a delay that will make you miss last call, "Ludicrous delay" = you might get in before you run out of Red Rose!"
How very George Orwellian !!
On and thanks Suzy. I have used the preferential request system in anger and it is comforting to know the controller is aware of our predicament. ATCs extra effort has stopped us from going to Maccau a few times ! (Yeah I get a lot of LAs!!!)
Not like the UK though !!
Carry on.
