LGW - RNAV following A380 ?
Just wondered the reasons behind this procedure and where it is written down? Also, why does this not happen elsewhere?
Genuine Q from a LGW operating pilot. Any ATC input greatly received.
Thanks in advance

A380 Localiser critical area is significantly longer than for other types, so if an A380 rolls down the runway, it will infringe the critical area.
I'm not sure of the dimensions of this for Gatwick, but I imagine that's the reason for the following aircraft to be on an RNAV approach.

The reasons are covered here I think http://www.pprune.org/atc-issues/550...tions-lgw.html
Nothing notified in the AIP just local ATC procedures.
