FPOBN,

One could argue that the UK had already done 'RECAT', with its designation of:
Heavy
Upper-Medium
Lower-Medium

Just swap the words 'Upper Medium' for 'Lower Heavy', or...

FPOBN,

I'm still struggling to take on board your point. Either that or you seem to have many and I'm confused by them all.

The original question was about LHR arrival separations, and you then...

FPOBN,

Yes, it is applied all the way down the approach UNTIL the point where you are 4nm (4DME) FROM touchdown.

It is not applied from the point to touchdown. The "from" in this context does...

FPOBN, wake encounters are reported on by pilots. If there is a breach in WT separation, then the controller will also file a mandatory report.

FPOBN,

NotaLOT,

No, we would provide 5nm to the point at which the Heavy reaches 4DME.

Once the Heavy crosses 4DME, then we can permit the separation to compress to 4.5nm before taking action.

FPOBN,

At LHR, spacing and wake turbulence separation is applied to 4DME.

2.5nm is the radar minima. Normal practice is for 3nm spacing to 4DME to be applied, so that the compression that occurs is still legal in IMC (when the Tower cannot see you so cannot apply Reduced...
