Hi guys,

I have a question for you pilots out there. I went to Africa this summer and flew to Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Victoria Falls.

It seemed to my passenger butt that they use steeper approaches into the airports than they do in the US. I recently flew Dallas to Boston and back and it seemed as if we are descending forever into both airports. I realize that Joburg is around 5,000 ft, but it seemed as if our approach angle was steeper as well.

Was I imagining things or does their less congested air traffic allow them to speed things along?

Thanks,
Neil
