JMC at ACE - aproach question

[really not]

Just an innocent question to the guys in green. I was following a 75 into ACE (03)the other day, CAVOK and daylight (rare times for the charter world I know). I was No2 to the 75 who had no-one infront of him from well before the LZR and he chose to do the full procedure onto the ILS. Please don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong in doing that, but is it company policy?, I know you can't land on 21. It's just that we were trying to do a visual in and ended up taking just as long as a full vor/ils. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

At the end of the day the choice is theirs, but it always seems daft to not do a visual approach if the weather is suitable. Wouldn't have thought they couldn't do visual approaches... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />

ummm...'scuse my ignorance, but why can't you land on Rnwy 21? Did it about aweek ago in a shiny 75...am I missing something...?!!

I know it can be irritating as we all like an expeditious visual to 03 when it is appropriate, but maybe they were line training or had some other valid reason.

Why should he explain his actions to an anonymous questioner on Pprune?
