If they tried that in the states and many other countries they would be held to account or delayed at the controllers convenience but ATC seems to bump everyone else to assist them?
Do it all the other time in other countries as well, drive the train as the operator says you have to.
Different certification bases, different regulator, no NDB approaches, no circling approaches, no ATC holding fuel, different fuel policy.
ASA I believe is also not permitted by their own internal policies to clear an international arrival for a visual, it can be requested by the crew.
Saw them screw over Cathay one night who got sent off to 16L which didn't go down to well.
It took years for CX to get ASA approval to use that runway, it was only obtained last year.
I never heard of it until I returned home and therefore I believe "require" to be an Australian thing.
It is in the ICAO docs.
Theres a lot we do differently down here. Like reading back a complete clearance when issued a PDC and calling "ready".
That happens outside Australia as well.
