Particularly Brisbane although Im sure the issue is generic..
When flying the Gold Coast arrival into BNE we requested an RNP approach and were told it would be a 4 minute delay. Instead we were given the normal visual approach with no delay.
My question. Both of these approaches use the same waypoints (COTON and LISSA) and for both approaches the times over these waypoints were identical. The tracking after these waypoints is almost identical and the touchdown times were the same.
Im assuming we were not issued the RNP because it would allow ATC more flexibility should they need to take us off track for other traffic..?
Cheers guys and keep up the good work
