same. You could also ask for a PAR approach from the same controller, and
they will provide course and glidepath advisories once every 5 seconds on
final. Even better, ask for a "no-gyro" PAR approach, and the controller
will get you down to the 100 or 200 HAT (whichever is used there) using
"turn left, stop turn" or "turn right, stop turn" directions. Expect the
phrase "make half standard rate turns" once you get on final.

And the phrase "Do not acknowledge further transmissions".

If you've never done a "talkdown" before, have a go when it's convenient for
you and the controller. I did one as part of my IMC rating training, and
it's immense fun. The controller who did mine (at a civilian airport, so
they don't do all that many) told me he enjoyed it too, as it had good
training value for him.
