Is it possible to request vectors for ILS/GPS/Visual approaches especially when there is an arrival pattern?
Not sure what you mean by an “arrival pattern,” but if approach is active you can request any of those, yes.
Maybe when pilots have to wait in line for landing or smth idk
Controllers will default to having you fly your FPL, provided that traffic conditions allow and you have a valid flight plan. We try to only use vectors when necessary (for example, a significant arrival pattern as you mentioned). Thus, you’ll receive vectors if you don’t have an FPL, but there’s no specific way of requesting this.
