But the difference is that Dundee isn't radar-equipped and while the essential first step is to get you up to the holding altitude, if they have other inbound IFR traffic that has priority, they need to get it below you/you above it long before lateral separation becomes an issue. When they can only do Procedural Service that's difficult.

Procedure separation was and continues to be used and long pre-dates radar.

The commercial IFR would not normally use the hold; direct to D4 Garmin approach.
Once the location of the intruder is known (e.g. at the hold), no problem for the commercial traffic to stay clear.

flyme.


Its completely Illegal, you have to go to the IAF as per EU-OPS and PAN-OPS.

1300 from the south and your playing with a 935 spot height the other side of the river.

Sounds not only a particularly gash thing to do but also stupidly dangerous.

And the other traffic isn't an intruder its got as much right to be in class G as any other aircraft.

So it sounds like your CAT is not only getting in with no known procedural separation but also completely without any terrain separation as anyone knows it.
