We were lucky in a sense, came in before the rush out of DARAX, with that in mind, it worked really well, the energy management of the aircraft was addressed well with a min speed of 210 KIAS @ 6000 so you can stay clean at most weights, we expected the vectors to 10 miles final 12L and the calls were really reduced, we all did what the STAR restrictions required and it seemed to lower the ATC involvement.
