Erm, WH seems to suggest our TMA has a standard of 5nm, and if they don't use that to run the acft 3nm apart they're pussies. Their standard is actually 3nm and they use it, but the limitation on final is the runway rate, not the radar standard. Same goes for the 5nm standard ENR.

Do the aviators and aviation powers-to-be out there really want us to use a 5nm radar standard as an excuse to run the acft 3nm apart? Is thinking like this that caused a radar standard to NOT appear in MATS for decades (until quite recently)? Did we buggar it up by publishing the standards?
