H'rowDirector,
Please don't be too despondent, I fully appreciate the intricacies of the challenging job you Radar Controllers do!
Much respect!
I am however trying to foster some debate on the issue of noise abatement. I have come to the conclusion that whilst maintaining 3000' and 250kts I shall not accelerate until I am given a clearance to climb, thus avoiding the aggressive application of power by the autothrottle.
The 777 seems to be one of the worst offenders.
