This depends strongly on the airport, terrain, and variability of winds.

There are airports in which approaches always or very nearly always follow the same profiles given local conditions. SFO, SJC, and SAN would be three examples off the top of my head.

SFO's major approaches are over the bay, opposite approaches would involve rapid descents dictated by mountains near the airport.

SJO and SAN are both limited by proximate downtowns with tall towers. Nominal approach glide paths cut below the rooflines of several structures, and make for some interesting experiences for arriving travellers.
