The hard bit is "descendandmaintain3000turnleft heading090interceptthe270degreeradialdirectVORcrossVORat3000 clearedfortheVOR25approachtraffic2oclocksamealtitudeopposite direction" which invariably happens all the same time
Just as a matter of interest, i am trying some instrument approaches on my FS and wondered do real world ATC try, or even give consideration when providing
concurrent heading and altitudes changes that they be kept to a minimum and instead try, if the situation allows, to give descent instructions while maintaining a constant heading instead? which i assume will make for a lower pilot workload. Or is no weight given to that and its just "here is where you need to be at" and that's it.
I guess what i am asking is if ATC have perhaps a low time IFR guy trying to get on the ILS that sounds a bit shaky or is drifting from assigned heading /altitudes would ATC try and "nurse" him to the ILS with the minimum of turning climbs/descents?
