And it has never been done by a VFR aircraft being told to hold on base to let a CAT aircraft go out bound on a pointless full procedure in CAVOK in class G to bobble up and set its TCAS off so it climbs so they can get in without waiting. Its happended to me a few times luckly my platform height out bound isn't the way oxford would teach it so we didn't have to react. It ain't the commercial pilots fault that ATC want to operate the airfield the way that they do. I have been MOR'd for canceling IFR in class G in CAVOK because they lost radar separation!!!!!!!!! It was the whole point of cancelling so we didn't have to do a 10 mile final and both of us could look out the sodding window.
Its one of these things thats going to happen if ATC continues to try and part the waves for CAT.
BTW Doncaster sounds ok at Dundee they use to star burst the VFR traffic as soon as the scot air had taken off out of City. Nothing could land once it had booked in with the scottish FIR.
