 These were not herbs, but instructors.  It's not uncommon to carry a little 
 extra height if you are planning a non-standard circuit, or if the winds are 
 unpredictable, then bleed it off once you've figured your covered. 
  
 As for the hebs at getting 'spoiler lock', I've seen it as far back as 78' 
 when C-GCLM went into the swamp at Mtvw, then again in 84' when C-FYLP 
 landed short in Picton, clipping a tree with it's left wing.  Some errors 
 are highly repeatable, and even worse than that, they're highly repeatable.
