Bring plenty of fuel...

To all our bretheren that drive north out of Dubai, Sharjah, Fuje and RAK.
With that para dropping area being active at the same time as OMR50 (over head RAK) there are probably going to be some heavy flow restrictions imposed both ways.
Given that we currently launch them, into Procedural airspace (I know I know...) 10nm in trail we can get the fleet airborne farily quickly.
With only about 6nm to get both inbounds and outbounds past each other (nose to nose, probably isn't the safest way to do this, but you work with what you have ) this just ins't going to happen, so ther will most likely be a 5 minute between departures rate.
18-20 of you want to go at the same time, I'll let the mathmaticians work out the delays.
Were I driving one of the buses, I would seriously consider RANBI BALUS and the right turn with no delay over the alternative.
But then again, what do I know?

There is a problem with holding inbound from the north...the holding stack is almost impossible to get to due to the OMR 50...
