Leaddie is clearly correct in his view that near misses don’t count and there’s nothing to be learnt from them.
Oh dear, really, interesting how this thread has morphed. I stand by what I have said and specifically
I'm all for increasing the movement rate at Sydney, working to capacity but the romantic notion that we can "land a few on RWY 07" is not worth the effort and as I have shown, could be counterproductive. Increasing complexity (read increased coordination between controllers) makes the job more difficult and on a cost/benefit analysis, would it be worth it?
And the missed approach scenarios as previously highlighted haven't been addressed by anyone (anyone?).
- RWY 07 missed approach vs a RWY 16L arrival
- RWY 07 missed approach vs a RWY 34R departure
And not to forget
And this is without considering the fact that whilst LAHSO is occurring on RWY 07 then the runway would be unavailable to the Ground controllers (who routinely use RWY 07/25 as either a taxiway or a parking lot!).
