My guess is that this would be for the third runway that will be built to the north of the current airport, this will be as a result of the canceling of the HS2 project that has been found to be economically unviable following the disclosure of secret government documents that were released following court proceedings last week.
For those outside the UK HS2 is a proposed high speed rail link between London and Birmingham.

If true, that's around 1300 ft/min descent at 140 kts groundspeed. It's also 2 degrees out of limits for my Cat II/III ops. Might work for some turboprops and light GA but I rather doubt many jets will be flying it.

"According to the Sunday Times....."
Anything written by a journo is likely to be hysterical cr*p rather than fact. Selling newspapers using triggers via Global Warming, Fear of Flying, Aliens etc is far more important than accuracy of information.

Actually this would work just fine. Take a look at the "steep approach" button on the A318 panel. For London City ops this is selected and allows for the even steeper glidepath there by automatically deploying the speedbrakes during the descent. An extra callout "Flare" is triggered to give the PF a clue when to raise the nose......
No doubt modern types could be modified accordingly.

Such a charitable view of other professions.
I didn't see "Ryanair Pilot" in his byline, though.
(Perhaps you can see what I did there; I suspect it will whoosh over your head though...)
Another load of complete bollox promulgated by an ignorant, ill-informed bunch of incompetent d1ckheads employed by an even bigger d1ckhead.

Who will Avion be operating for at LHR
Avion Express is recruiting Airbus A320 pilots and cabin crew for a longer term contract for scheduled operations based in London Heathrow, starting on March 2013........does anybody know who they are going to be operating for ????
Obviously its not Virgin as EI is going to be doing that operation
Just wondered if anybody in the know at LHR knows.............

It is being reported that the new T2 will be home to Star Alliance, Aer Lingus and the Virgin domestic flights from 2014 with T1 then to be demolished and replaced with a second phase of the new T2 development.
I wonder where this will leave the ex-bmi domestic operations? Certainly, one assumes, that the ex-bmi european ops will move to T3 to co-locate with BA's other operations there; but (correct me if wrong) there is no domestic facility at T3. Will BA, therefore, run down the ex-bmi domestic operations or do they think they'll be able to fit in T5? Or maybe BA will continue to be split over three terminals (T5, T3 and the likes of DUB, BHD, LBA etc in T2)

Heathrow: Rebuilding Heathrow Airport
Terminal 1
Some £60 million has been invested in improving your journey through Terminal 1. We also have plans to replace the building completely around 2019 and until then our team are proud to welcome you to their terminal, home of the Star Alliance.
Terminal 2
The new Terminal 2 opens in 2014 – the latest step in the transformation of Heathrow. It has been designed from the outset with the needs of the individual passenger at its heart and with sustainability as a guiding principle.
See what Heathrow's new Terminal 2 will be like
Terminal 3
Terminal 4
Terminal 4 is now home to 45 airlines, and has a new, fresh look in the security screening area and new accommodation for A380 aircraft. Our work on Terminal 4 is not yet complete.
Terminal 5
We are committed to making the journey for our Terminal 5 passengers even better with the recent introduction of an extension to the facility. This new satellite building provides an additional 12 aircraft piers for Terminal 5, minimising the time you spend transferring to and from your flight and taxiing to the runway.

Interesting, is "T5A+" an extension? Think LHR-5D is on the cards (fire station may have to move). For LHR-5E, parts of LHR-3 will have to be demolished.
Alternatively, if the underground transit is extended to LHR-3, all the satelites and new ones nearer to LHR-3 could be used from both terminals, making Oneworld transfers a whole lot easier.
If there is to be no LHR-3 in the longterm master plan, maybe it, along with LHR-1, will be rebuilt north of the Bath Road (A4).

Are these terminal proposals based on a published document?
I think T5D was always in the long term development plan...as was T2C, but the next step was to realign the pier currently leading to the Control Tower (pier 7?) in a north-south direction. T5E and T2D might make sense, but surely in the very long term.

I believe after the current T2A and T2B all LHR redevelopment has been put on hold. No point spending hundreds of millions on a new T1 and T3 and extension of T5 when the future of LHR is in doubt...
What's going on in terminal 3 arrivals? Went there to meet my other half. approached LHR 15.00, arrived at the gate 15.30, met at the arrivals hall 16.45. Immigration was hell, someone describing it as worse than the 1st day of the sales. Is this the norm or a one off? Surely some werious questions need to be asked about the infrastructure of LHR before even thinking of a 3rd runway.
A total disgrace.
