Rolling out is not on approach.
While ATCOs (aerodrome at least) are provided with training in and assessed on aircraft recognition pilots are not and there is no requirement for a pilot to know what an A320 looks like.
You say "After the landing A320 line up and wait"
I say "After the landing A320 line up and wait"
and then wait and see what an A320 looks like.
Same airport, same traffic makes it easy.
Of course we do get "after the landing falcon line up and wait"
Is that the 20, 50, 900 900lx, 2000 2000lx or 7x..........quite different aircraft and as you say it is so important to get it right
