Experience shows that level busts occur if a wrong QNH is set.
AND...I thought a/c type was on the computerised flight plan???but in the end, a heavy is a heavy and a medium a medium, whether it be a 737 and MD83 or a 744 and 340/6...?
Yes, but sometimes the aircraft type has been changed without changing the flight plan, and we need accurate type information for the issuance of conditional clearances (especially at night) as well as vortex information.
altho better synchronisation between the post landing phase and allocation of bays would be nice..an hour at Link 36 with all turning kinda makes Copenhagen last year look a tadge ridiculous!
I'm afraid stand allocation is nothing to do with us in ATC, that's the Airport Authority's responsiblity. They inform us and we inform you.
