Locked door,
Not sure where my post you were refering to is..(my posts seeem to disappear often recently...).but im quite sure i did not criticise BA crew.
I just mentionned the standard ICAO vortex separation..now if LHR has a reduced separation,it was obviously approved by the UK CAA and such difference notified to pilots operating there..i have never flown there myself.
LGW however I am quite familiar with and never had an issue with minimum ICAO time separation,just late landing clearances.
Now it is a fact that PIC have the right to accept or not such reduced separation,I wonder how many wake turbulence reports they get there on a monthly basis..oh hang on a minute...its always windy up there...maybe the reason for reduced separation and few reports..
