Proposal for 7,500m runway at Heathrow
You may have seen the Jock Lowe's proposal to extend the two LHR runways to 7,500m which I suppose would be instead of idea for close parallels. I'm not a pilot myself but I would have thought that exercising a go around whilst another aircraft was taking off further down the runway could be interesting, to say the least. I'm not sure how it compares with 'Land & hold short' practised at airports such as O'Hare. What do others think and does it make any sense at all?
