Halo, thanks for the correction (I always seem to get that one wrong)

Gonzo, to take you back to part of WHBM's question.."What would be the anticipated LVP flow rate for mixed mode ?"
Surely during LVPs we could increase the movement rate towards the 'normal' average of 80 per hour without coming close to swamping GMC ?
10 mile spacing on both runways (mixed mode) would equate to a landing rate of 20ish per hour plus 20 departures per runway equals 80. What do we manage at the moment during LVPs - about 65 ?

I know there are other issues involved but there would still be some increase in capacity, no ?
