Heathrow T4 a/c congestion

[Final 3 Greens]

I was involved in a project to look at stand planning/management at LHR a couple of years ago.

Bottom line, there just is not enough physical space to easily cope with the peaks, especially during times of disruption.

Lets not slag off BA, BAA or anyone else.

Try overlaying a map of LAX or DFW onto LHR and see the difference in area.

I rode around the peri track of LAX - over 20 miles!

Everyone at LHR, controllers, pilots, planners and ops etc have my admiration for a job done exceedingly well under very difficult circumstances.
