DaveReid,

Both. Yes, confusing, isn't it?

There is no restriction to landing on 09R. However, in general we can only depart on 09R due to Cranford. Therefore, in general, the level of outbound demand precludes using 09R for arrivals a lot of the time. It's down to the individual controllers to offer spare capacity to the inbounds.

However, when the delay builds up on easterlies, we tend to use the same level of delay to provide the same rate of arrivals (6 per hour) as on westerlies, hence it can still bew referred to as TEAM.

SGC, under current understanding of SOIR9643, LHR is not equipped for independent approaches or departures.
