Alpha Charlie,
There are other factors that may come into play.Given a straight race between a jet and a turboprop inside 30 miles,then the turboprop will generally win.
We also get traffic pegged in speed by the Area unit to maintain radar separation,but then we can use 3mile spacing which is a lot less.Also Class D,E,F,G airspace has speed restriction below FL 100 which complicate matters.
The Saab 2000 is also a very hot ship.I treat most turbo props as 210kts or more to 10 miles,and after that make sure they do about 160 to 4 to stop them slowing up too early.
535,
Are there any plans to move approach units to McNerc? Are we in for a mega pay rise as well,if we will be sat next to each other.(Thread hijack I know,but couldn't resist )
