Hi Lupa, if it`s your first time to the USA read the USA differences especially "how to speak americanese ie 13 thousand etc..." There are some speed requirement differences eg 220KIAS within 4Nm so if you fly a downwind activate appch phase and fly greendot..

Be very aware of the USA definition of a visual appch, if not happy ask for vectors to the ILS..Configure early to flap 2 - perhaps the atc`s are used to ac that slow down quicker.

Don`t be surprised if you struggle to understand ATC at first, one or two trips and you will have it..

They do it somewhat differently to Europe but it works!!

Enjoy
