though I could be wrong
I belive you are actually! I think Copenhagen are the only scandinavian airport allowed to go to 2.5 miles. Gardermoen and Arlanda use 3
I know for a fact that Arlanda use speedcontrol all the time as well, in the same manner as described above. Oslo a bit less i think. (Maybe FinalVectors can enlighten us??)

Granted the peaks are less freqent there, compared to Heathrow, but I don't see why there shold bee any difference in RT.....

As for protection from traffic below/close etc.....how does that factor in? ILS is ILS, and if aircrew decend/slow/(turn) before fully est. they are in vilolation of air law..... (assuming under vectors)
If things need to be highlighted, do so on the plates, not on RT 20000+ times a day?

Don't anyone allso think, that once you have to assume that pilots will f*** up as a rule, that you are walking down a dangerous street?
