I'd say 600 is reasonably close to the number of movements that there could be per day.
Anyone know how many heli movements the last Ryder Cup had? I heard it was 700+ per day. I also heard that over 150 Helicopters have registered for this Ryder Cup Operation at the K-Club. A fair number of the machines will be dropping off their pax/owners and parking up for the day, but you can bet your ass there'll be plenty of helis ferrying the public to and from the event from the various feeder sites.
I also agree with Bladecrack - the procedures could have been made much much simpler. Complex new procedures in a new airspace layout with lots of sectors either bordering or within 10 miles of each other may lead to confusion on the day and frequencies are likely to be very busy or even saturated. Does anybody know if there'll be an element of Flow-Control in use??
Disipline & Patience will be required from all participants in the air & on the ground. Fly Safe, keep a good look out and don't be pressured into anything.
BTW - I have absolutely NO influence or input into the design or set up of the Ryder Cup HAMSS / MATSU Operations.
