Better not have a radar failure then. Or a blocked Mike on the frequency,...

This should be briefed in my opinion. The day it happens to you, you may not be in the cozy environment of LBG or the ATCO May be dealing with an emergency of some kind that would prevent him to concentrate on a published procedure a pilot has not thought out properly.

The world doesn’t revolve around Le Bourget ...

Actually that got me thinking about another major airport.

Sydney, Australia.. When on a simultaneous approach on ( can’t remember the runway ), the Air Traffic Controller will give you a break out instruction that will have you to descend in many cases.

No failure, nothing but routine instructions in that case so you better be prepared as there is a reason why the controller will ask you to descend.
