Thanks a lot for your answers! It's hard to learn more about separations on the basis of scientific papers. It sometimes seems like the authors don't really know how the traffic is handled in real life...
@ Heathrow Director:
You mentioned that both runways of EGLL are sometimes used for landings. I thought the airport always operates in segregated mode for noise abatement reasons.
Does heathrow use both runways for landings regularly?
