I could have sworn that there was a limit on how many instructions ATC is suppossed to pass on to pilots. The other day while turning final I was given;
"descend and maintain xxxx, turn right heading xxx intercept the localizer R07L, speed xxx until x mile final, report established"
I also have regularly heard clearances that are followed by a frequency change in one transmission.
I thought there where internationally agreed rules against these practices, not just recommended procedures.
A little ATC insight would be appreciated. These scenarios are potentially very dangerous. I realize that the airspace and the frequency are busy but I don't think we need to revert to this sort of stuff.
