Cyclic,
I'm not really referring to VFR.It's SVFR when I have to separate from other SVFR and IFR.We have to make gaps to get SVFRs in against IFR,and then that delays other traffic icing up at 2500ft.Flip side of the coin is we pack in the IFR,and the SVFR(lower priority) and outbounds start bleating.Can't win eh
I'm sure that when SVFR was thought of it was intended for C152 getting in with weather slightly under VFR criteria.Not for commercial twin turbine helis doing 160 kts,using it to carry extra load and less fuel.
I have also had circuit and airtest traffic moan about delays and they are the lowest priority of the lot.
I think some of ATC are getting a bit weiry of this as well,and it's not just me.It's not always in snow conditions.
Anyway next one asks I'll say delay less than 20 mins and wait for the response.You can always declare an emergency and then we will part the waves.
