interpreter,

Quite a few points highlight your lack of knowledge and indicate some sort of grudge against LGW.

A few examples:

it gets no sympathy from me or most of West Sussex, Kent and East Sussex not to mention the North Weald area.
What are your statistics and evidence for this claim? This is at best an assumption and at very worst, totally inaccurate.

nflict their misery as they wish on the general public.
There's only misery found by people such as yourself who totally refuse to co-exist with a major airport and cannot accept that your frankly disproportionate views are under no obligation to either be heard or acted upon by GAL, NATS or anybody else.

Returning to the matter of dispersal and 7000ft somebody, who shall be nameless, at Swanwick has confirmed that this is perfectly possible if required.
So you are suggesting that we essentially re-draw every procedure to do with LGW (and by extension some of LHR and LCY, as well as Biggin and Farnborough) simply to accommodate a compromise situation to appease people like you?

The fact is that Gatwick is just in the wrong place and permanently trying to operate beneath the arriving and departing aircraft of Heathrow.
You do realise that there are other airports in the London TMA that are far closer together and conflict with each other's traffic, Stansted and Luton as well as LHR and LCY both spring to mind. So shall we go about changing the procedures there as well because they are 'just in the wrong place'
