Gatwick never seem to get it right regarding cda when they are landing on 08R.If visual I base it on the western edge of Horsham,they never turn you inside it!Quite a few airlines ignore cda at LGW.I have often seen and HEARD aircraft at low level 20 miles out from 26L early in the morning! Why do they have to vector aircraft this far out in the quiet periods?CDA in the A330 usually involve some use of speedbrake-which in itself generates noise.A few more track miles calls from ATC would help those of us operating aircraft with basic kit.
