Why can't the KBOS dispatch desk issue three TO clearances routinely (Tall, short, or no ship) so the front office can choose the appropriate one?
Nice idea although other than "no ship" it would surely become an issue regarding quantification of tall and short. How does one measure the height of a mast to put it into quantifiable terms? I'm sure there must be a way, but would it really be robust enough to incorporate for EO planning purposes?
