Rat 5
Excuse me old chap, but could we turn 90 left or right to lose a spot of height, don't you know?
I had this just this spring in xxx (wild westville in the Near East), where I was invited to make an ILS approach from 6,500 ft at 10 miles. I was incredulous and said I was not a dive-bomber, while ATC could not understand why I had refused such a lovely approach.
But I have noted at this airport that the locals take these daft approaches as a challenge, and to refuse would be to lose honour and face, and so they try to get in whatever the request. Scary stuff when you see it happening so often.
