As an active pilot flying both to Heathrow and Stansted on a regular basis I am wondering about the separation required for departure. Can anyone provide me info or a link to the UK separation rules as well as the rules used for avoiding wake turbulence? It seems I am waiting on the runway for take-off clearance a lot longer at Stansted than at Heathrow.
Secondly, does ATC consider two minutes timing from the time the preceding aircraft starts rolling or rotating?
Any usefull comments appreciated. Greetings from the mainland.
