Why do we get radar vectors onto 07L? By doing so ATC only save about 1 mile with a lot more comm. Would it not be better to vector everyone to Limes and then clear them for the ILS from there? Why wait until the last 10nm to sort out spacing, why not achieve the spacing before the procedure (Limes)?
I know there is an issue with the airspace around the base leg for the ILS so why not move the base leg to fix the problem? I think it would be better to fly a tight known pattern with minimal comm., than to fly a tight unknown pattern with excessive comm.
