Il Duce.... The RAF haven't got enough aircraft to get a sequence going so no chance of flak.

MMR=some sort of vaccine. ATCOs get it before they start validation training - it melts the brain!

Indicating Full - very best of luck with your degree. Just to add to Del Prado's excellent notes..... at large airports, VMC conditions mean very little as the vast majority of aircraft carry out instrument approaches irrespective of the weather an in Class A airspace VMC conditions may not be used for separation. However, when mixed mode is in operation (sometimes early morning at Heathrow), separation between aircraft on different runways may be reduced if the pilots can see each other and certain other conditions prevail.
