Visual Calls
CDG - pretty good, would be even better if they spoke English only. You are given your runway on initial contact with approach. If you receive no instructions to the contrary, you are expected to intercept the relevant LOC if on an intercept track of less than 70 degrees. If you don't, you will stray into parallel traffic
Is this local only knowledge, or is it written somewhere? Not questioning you, but would like to know what are the basis for this.
Presently flying in the Middle Kingdom, where ATC often forgets to clear me for an approach (except for aiports like ZBAA, ZGSZ, ZGGG, ZSPD, ZSSS)
After 25 years in this business, I cannot recall( perhaps age
) seeing or hearing this. Maybe one of you will be kind enough to educate me.
