traffic on a 4 mile final and yet another making you wait when traffic on 5 mile final
Maybe because one pilot will be doing 120 kts at 4nm and another 180 kts in the same aircraft type. Then there is the difference between pilots/aircraft lining and actually getting moving, always trust a QFA B767 but never a VOZ A330 (although they are getting better) or a SK SW4.
still handle up to 60 movements an hour
Parallel runways?? That's not great and they are all jets with very similar performance. PH will do 40ish an hour, arrival & departures, single runway and all sorts of performance. One PH ATC ex HK reckons it was a doddle compared to PH these days, sausage factory...
plethora of ridiculous airspace constraints
You reckon PH basin airspace is simple, with PEA & JT??
ATC being a government job
Far less in Australia than HK..
If everyone wants to leave at 0500 on a Monday morning so be it.
Very short sighted, it is still limited to concrete on the ground.
