Erm.... that would enable a neat 1min split behind a 777.....!
Im not doubting the effects of them, nor previous comments, but referring back to my previous remarks; 90% of the time its no problem and look at the regular situation with a Dash 8 going wheels up behind a 757 from an intersection. Yet classing it as a Heavy would be a nightmare and could lead to significantly worse situations!
I think we should all be aware it is M+ and of the possibility of extra time needed, and crews should be aware of the minimum requirements in the country they are operating!
