Tactical Enhanced Arrival Mode

Landing aircraft on the departure runway.

Heathrow easy life, bit of a sweeping statement regarding it being hated by pilots and controllers. It is a big help to TC. Might stuff you up in the tower a tiny bit but the idea is about distributing delays.

If it is that bad, why does the tower agree to it so often during the day when it does not have to? Used correctly it aids the tower and TC.

Mixed Mode will help even more when start up delays exceed inbound delays... though any thoughts that it will bring huge increases in movements is laughable. The RMA might be a little bit small, but the whole TMA is under pressure.
