Yup, 2 and a half miles down final on a sunny day as well. Maybe it's the right kind of light or something.ICAO you only need 6 miles for Heavy/Light behind.
It's not the first time there has been strange classifications.Anyone that ever saw a Chinook knows that it isn't a small.It's horrific.Reckon that the BAA wasted a fortune with snow clearing equipment.Just get that thing to fly down the runway.Now thats a snow blower.
Anyway I digress again.A 744 skipper friend said the vortex off a 757 at LL spacing was enough to bounce a Jumbo around.I think that the 757 should be treated with utmost caution.
