ATC Watcher,

In a good headwind and when the tower can provide visual separation, we'll be doing 2.5nm spacing (non-wake pairs, obviously) to 4DME, which then compresses once the first one slows down. I've seen situations where the first one is just touching down and the second one is inside 2nm from touchdown.
