KLIA RWY Upgrading

Hi guys..although about 2500m will be available for t/off which may be ideal for a320 n below, things still don't look so rosy. KLIA may come up with some methods to expedite taxying to the limited rwy BUT there is still going to be further delays at the holding point.News is that the B737s may be parked closer to the 2nd rwy.This solution may reduce taxying time to 32l . However delays will be still around due to the fact that KLIA Tower now has to ask for apvl from 124.2 b4 allowing a radar dep from 32l. If for any reason, the 1242 guy is busy(he should be),the apvl may not come in as expected. The present trend is autolaunch for 32r which means there is no need to ask for apvl from 1242. With the adequate wake turbulence minima in mind, KLIA will dep traffic without any coordination with ATCC at SZB. However, if there is going to be a dep from 32l at the same time, it will have to be approved by the 1242 guy. Anticipate further delays. On another note we will be reducing the minima on apch from 5nm to 3nm. It will be enforced as soon as the simulator practices are completed which may be within the next 4-5months.
