Short Approach?

Don't worry about it. I fly a heavy and CPH is on our route network and I would not be that worried if you vectored me onto the localiser within 10DME and below 3000 ft. We have one destination that spring to mind where due to terrain, you will always establish on the ILS inside 10DME and below 3000ft. The only concern I would have is if the track miles flown turned out to be considerably less than what may be given on the R/T, which would leave one a little hot and high.

You should have asked him if he was happy to continue, or would he prefer radar vectoring for a second approach?
