Sequencing
Yakkity old son....
Ask and ye shall receive!!
Sitting there watching it all happen and then getting all bent out of shape when the wrong one is in the wrong spot just doesn't cut it! My Jedi mind link only works within our ops room, not across the border.
Imagine our chagrin when we sequence for a neat 10 mile trail through both entry gates to then watch as they all get vectored around the sky for a 20 or 30 mile trail or even stuck in the hold at BUBIN.
This after vectoring and/or speed control has them beatling along in a neat trail...
surely if you want them in a 20 or 30 trail...don't keep it a secret!
BTW for all those pilots out there...Muscat doesn't know what runway Dubai is on, we are at least one unit too far out to be given that advice. Not like the old days, when we sequenced and handed straight off to Dubai Approach.
We also have our instructions regarding dead heats at PASOV and TAPRA..if we have one, just drag one of them to the other point (traffic depending). As you would be aware, D37 (Naval firing range) just happens to be right in the middle of the two tracks, so sometimes the SHJ bound guy is to the south and the DXB one to the north...not a lot we can do to swap them over depending on where they are coming from. This of course sets UAE control up for the dump, as they have to cross them over.
As the workers here say...."what to do?"
