It's amazing how fast you go from feeling like an well informed enthusiast, to a complete waste of volume, when you have a conversation with someone actually in the industry.
In order to help me claw back shreds of whatever is left of my self respect, could someone help in answering a few questions for me? The first is this:
What are flow regulations (commonly refered to as "regs")? In particular, at what point are they put in place, how do they help reduce jams. Are they for arrivals or departures? When do you know when to take them away? What exactly is being regulated (what phase of the flight)? In essence, educate me. I'm looking particularly at the EGLL situation, but general info is helpful too!
Thanks all you wonderful people.
