How common is this for visual approach?
So, I get vectored for a visual approach. I am about 6+ miles on an effective downwind and about 4300 AGL. At this point, I'm cleared for the visual approach and to contact tower. I contact tower, the know where I am and altitude and they say clear to land. Just over 5 minutes later, I touch down.
This was certainly easy, But, I am wondering how common is it to be vectored that far out and high and get cleared to land? I don't know why they didn't get me lower first...
