Just curious, and not wishing to start an arguement...but why elsewhere can they control a large number of aircraft, heavys coming in on the ILS while a PA28 is landing on another runway...yet they insist you have operational Mode C. Likewise landing on a parallel runway at the same time as a 737 is coming in?.....Why isn't their TCAS kicking off all the time? Do they have different / more advanced kit ?

I understand that Clutter on the screen could be a problem, seems pretty obvious, but although you say its controlled visually, I have been told to 'take the next right and contact ground' when I'm still on a 1 mile final

Cheers
