Gonzo,
Scenario. You're departing on a southbound route from LHR's 27R. At 1000 feet you switch to 120.52 and start the left turn. At the same time the a/c just about to land on 27L goes around.
Same as the scenario - FK50 departs 27R on a dover Sid and just after they are transfered to 120.52, a B747 goes round on 27L.
When a FK50 say departs 27R on a dover SID, with a series of B747s landing on 27L, when do you transfer the guy to the ACC?
If it is say passing 1500ft then why not put the communication transfer into the procedure and have pilots calling the ACC at 1500ft unless told otherwise.
I remember LL before the early turns in the MAP........much more intersting in a go-arround then (pre TCAS as well!!!)

Heathrow Director,
It would not be something that could be brought in over night but it seems to have worked elsewhere without many collisions or is it only Heathrow Directors that have lots of go-arrounds
Or certain favourite airline?
Do they still cheer in TCR when the alarm goes off?
Regards,
DFC
