Responses by ATC apologists are straight out of Utopia or Yes Minister. The hospital is empty but its the most efficient in the country. You just don’t get it .
Allow aircraft to takeoff at their performance limit. If they need the long runway, let them use the long runway, on request from clearance delivery.
Put the x-wind limit back to 25 knots. Like it used to be . Or shut RWY 27 altogether and get the movement rate up to the same as Gatwick.
And introduce a real slot time system, not the half-a#sed COBT.
But either way FIX IT for pities sake! Have you any idea how pathetic this circus looks from anywhere outside Australia?
