738 into ABZ.Kind of narrows the operators down a bit....To be sure.
I've seen Eastern do 250 kts to 4nm with the Saab 2000.Even some of the new EC225 helis will do 160kts to well inside 4nm.
On 16 there is no high or low speed turn off for a 738.It's to the end always.On 34 it's slightly better with W4,but we still see aircraft more often than not go to the end.
The 8 mile gap is to provide vortex spacing after helis with a light following.Applies to landing on the same and crossing runway,and to departures from certain holding points.
We quite often will pack traffic to help the inbounds and radar.If we have to operate standard gaps ,there will he holding.Often the first to complain is a certain 738 operator.
We don't see what airlines brief about ABZ,but we are very aware of the short runway.That's why we try to avoid operating will a tailwind component as much as possible.Also we are aware that 737 have automatic brake selection,and can come to a grinding halt.But then we have 460 movements a day,and it would be nice if aircraft didn't occupy the runway too long.
