Again confusing VMC with VFR, also nothing new, but did not expect it from the AvHerald
Have you read it, that seems ridiculously dangerous! An embraer will stop from 135kts a fair quicker than a 777 will stop from 110kts...
The second aircraft should only be cleared as the controller sees the first get airborne, this is pretty basic I would have thought!
Does show how useful AI can be though, go around alarms exist, as do FOD radars etc. Would be easy you’d think to install RTO sensors to give the controller a heads up.
