hola people'

while we are on that subject i would like some clarification on the terminology used my our controllers "NO DELAY"...have seen some pilots alter headings and manufacture a flight path so as once they leave the beacon they can commence the approach...words will probably not be able to explain wht im trying to stipulate here, but may be this will help...

a/c coming from a direction where it is determined tht a teardrop/offset entry is the right way to join, the guy offsets his heading accordingly but istead of coming back to the beacon,he joins the outbound and continues with the approach...is this the right way?

personally i think it is not because i know the controller knows that the entry will take abt 3 mins after the eta and makes provisions...

keep it up there fellows,
