Thanks AirScotia, I hear what you are saying, and I know it's easy from my desk to point out errors with Hindsight.
Personally if I am single engine, especially with more problems further complicating things, I tell ATC which runway I'm landing on, not the other way around. ATC can then organise whatever they need to in order to "clear the way" for me.
Coming back onto RW05 involves more track miles, so it wasn't used to get back on the ground quicker, hence my great interest as to why they chose their course of action.
Maybe there is a good reason, and I'm blinded by my own ideas, but I'm yet to see it.
