Winter operations - the ATC perspective
Hi all,
Can I ask if there is a set of limitations [snow depth] that are applied before the runways in the UK are closed? With the possiblilty of bad weather this week it would be interesting to know that runways will be closed with xxx mm of wet snow etc. I do apprieciate that the braking action measurements become unreliable in wet snow but at what satage will the BAA say to you guy's enough. It would be sad indeed to end up in the same situation as a couple of years back with airport after airport closing its runways as we were on our diversion to it!
