Oooh chevvron, did you get out of the wrong side of the bed or something?

I made a stab in the dark at the 20 hour ops but now that you have kndly provided the correct duration I'll use that. Even reducing the operating period to 15 hour ops makes it 4.2 movements/hour assuming 365 days ops. Heathrow it obviously ain't so why the LHR'esque airspace ambitions at the expense of thousands of existing users of the airspace?

Damn, you are going to tell me that they are not open on Christmas Day and New Years Day now aren't you? That'll jack the movements up to 4.22/hour....

Even the proposed 50,000 movements that they have permission for (and by no means can that be guaranteed, look at Norwich for example) that puts the hourly movement rate up to a highly congested 9 per hour period......

As has been pointed out there are other bizjet orientated airfields (eg Luton) which operate in a much less restrictive fashion than TAG Farnborough are proposing.
