Or just do like the rest of the world. No anticipated clearences to land, you only ever get a clerance when the runway is empty and yours.

I think this is a good idea.

The only negative I can think of is that it will generally involve accepting and responding to clearances on short final. I think adding more tasks to that critical stage of flight probably increases danger a little. Especially for low time student pilots like myself. That's particularly relevant in the U.S. because we have a higher percentage of student and private pilots than most of the world.

Overall, though, I'm fully convinced this would be safer.

Even without anticipated clearance to land you have to define what "the runway is empty and yours" means.

Yeah that gut wrenched ATC had to stay on point and ensure the next plane to land did a go around. Scary stuff.

Us lot have more people doing SRE ensuring p99 10ms for something frankly way less important. It is a nuts world.
