So an aircraft landed, just as the other was taking off....
It says 1st a/c was airborne when 2nd a/c landed.
2nd a/c at 3.2nm. 1st a/c cleared for takeoff, I assume 'immediate takeoff' and I assume 1st a/c was asked in advance if they were ready. If all correct then that was a normal day at LGW when I used to fly there; even STN sometimes. It was clarified often with "continue expect late landing clearance". There was even, sometimes "one on, land after." Is that still allowed in EASA? Do the control freaks consider that is too much control/discretion/decision making given to the captain?
