Eastern, many thanks for your informed reply.
I have read the notams before but find it confusing that on somedays when this scenario is in use (04 & 07) that we get vectored on to right base with too much height to lose and lots of TCAS from BFS, yet other times with this in mind we come down earlier to then find as we did the other night that we had to go around the houses creating noise bellow. I understand your probs having been based at BHD, but last night our TCAS showed no other traffic in the Belfast TMA. We wanted a visual right base but were flatly refused by Scottish, then BFS. I thought ohwell, thats cos theres traffic around, how hum. But not according to our screen at 60 miles range.
I still have to say would we been positioned over Bangor with a departure off 04 as I would have thought a confliction could happen?
If I ever get marooned in BFS which is very rare, in fact only been in there in a Cesspit, I will take up your offer. With thanks.
