Just don't change the ATIS and advise the aircraft behind us that the ILS isn't protected? Or like I said give us an approach onto the opposite end.
Seems like a lot of fuss for one movement a day, just wait until all 3 flights go on the fuglybus......
This movement happens at pretty much the same time every day so maybe a bit of airmanship and preparation for that too from your side?
Also for ATC, thanks to Brake to Vacate (BTV), this system means that it is very very unlikely that we will over-run our planned exit from the runway and if we do then you will have more than a protected area to worry about!
On 08R the exit is just about perfect for our usual landing weight and speed, on 26L unfortunately the normal high speed will give us brake temps of around 600 deg, which is why we prefer to roll slightly longer and save the temps and not delay the next departure. If you need us off earlier though you just have to ask us before establishing on final approach. At Heathrow we are regularly asked by the first approach sector, pre-Lambourne hold whether we are using BTV and which exit we are planning for, this has been entered at Top of Descent so have no problem communicating it early.
