Hootin,
Well the solution at the moment is that you stick all the strips in the giant runway bay and look out the window.But when you change the order that the strips are moved ,then the scope for clearing a fixed wing for takeoff,before a heli has vacated on a cross runway has increased a lot.This is because the strips are right the old way,but wrong the new way.When you get busy,then the old way takes over.All helicopter movements have to use,cross,or infringe rwy 16/34.
The whole operation at Aberdeen has evolved over years.All the helicopter rules are in Mats part 2,not part 1.The whole operation is non standard (heli wise),yet a Common display which is DANGEROUS,could be imposed on us. Most of the people in Nats making these decisions don't even know where Aberdeen is,let alone what the operation is.
