Late landing clearance at LHR
Anyone know how many go arounds there are at LHR every day??
Great controllers, very precise, but sometimes it feels like they've watched the movie"Pushing Tin" too many times and are trying to out-do each other.
Sometimes that base turn for 09L after a vector from Lambourne is about 10 seconds too early which as you all know is the difference between a landing clearance at 300ft or one at 50ft!! Not good if you're also contending with a 40kt gusty wind!!
Any controllers out there, don't get me wrong, you do a great job. My latest clearance, around 50ft four months ago. Any advances on that???
