  1. Why the 747 extended downwind to 6 miles?
  2. Why do you think Horizon turned 90 degrees to join the final?
  3. What is the “rule” regarding Visual Approaches?

    Not to be rude, but how do you expect anyone to provide an answer to what appears to be a specific incident if you don't provide any context or details? Is this something you saw on Flightaware? Is there a YouTube video, or incident report that is at the origin of your question? We like to be helpful here, but you need to help us help you! ;) – Michael Hall Nov 04 '20 at 21:50
  • I doubt the horizon turned 90 degrees in a 747! Normal bank is 30, max. is 45! – Bianfable Nov 04 '20 at 22:06

    @Bianfable, oh... I interpreted that as a separate Horizon airlines flight turning for 90 degrees of heading change. Because we have Horizon airlines up here in the NW. And because it was capitalized i assumed it was a company name... (given the quality of the question I probably made the wrong assumption!) – Michael Hall Nov 04 '20 at 22:35

    @MichaelHall I didn't think of Horizon Airlines, maybe you're right :) That makes one more thing OP should clarify... – Bianfable Nov 04 '20 at 22:38

  1. For sequencing.

  2. Because it was on a 90 degree base leg.

  3. Look outside.
