Is it still the common use e.g. LGW, where ATC would say, "XYZ continue approach, expect late landing clearance, One to vacate."?
The only problem is that ATC can then forget to give the final clearance. Happened to me heading into Barcelona El Prat - expect late landing clearance, the controller then omitted to give us the actual clearance to land.
Go around was called because although we called to ask for our clearance to land, we didn't get a response before it was too late and we were forced to go around....
