Sadly, but understandably, not all SOPs are the same (aircraft types/airline operators/etc.etc.).
Equally local ATC procedures are similarly diverse (see examples above) depending on the airport operation.

The problem we found was that the differences in SOPs meant there was no consensus amongst operators and, even if there had been, local ATC procedures (with their own hazard assessments) prohibit some of the "ideal" timing options.
