Hi Baggy
Just do the standard seperation by eye and TCAS I suppose. ATC no doubt would give you a shout if it gets close. Remember even if number 3, you're only following the one immediately in front, ie the number two.
As far as giving/ keeping a gap goes. Yes I will always try to give ATC what they ask for and it's easy to do. Frankly catching the one in front up would be quite hard to do even if you wanted to.

ps. I'm no expert but it seems to work. No one seems to know why they do it at GLA but not EDI. Do you?
