Sorry but I still don’t see how it increases capacity. If a controller, or two, can sit there and vector planes at minimum wake turbulence spacing then where does this RNAV STAR fit more planes in? What I’m hearing is that it maybe fits the same amount of planes except that it’s only one controller doing it.

Actual increase of capacity would be what Heathrow did by introducing lower wake turbulence spacing in different winds.
