As long as I have been involved in aviation it has always been 1500 ft CCTS for high performance A/C?? To my knowledge not many regional airlines adopt the 1500ft ccts at CTAFs . Try following a metro at night into YSBK, The tower asks for speed reduction for both A/C at prospect. I can never seem to keep up They dump the gear and flap and fly a tight base and final. No need for 1500 Ft ccts maybe just for the jets, even the smaller citations and Learjet’s seem to manage fine with 1000ft ccts.

Maybe a few Light jet and turbo prop drivers can shed some light???
