Just curious to know if a police radar speed catch near a rwy threshold, could have any impact on approach systems.
Or, if there is any regulation about it for them . Or more simple, if nobody care about it.

I believe that LHR police use a laser device. I am no scientist but I can't imagine that would affect the ILS or whatever.
I have seen the red dot when approaching a speed checkpoint, so presumably he had me right between the eyes!
A lot of people get caught coming off the M25 onto the southern perimeter road. Their minds are still in motorway mode but they are now on a 40 limit as they head for T4.

And since when did anyone go as fast as 40 on that stretch of M25???

imho it's gotta be the best excuse yet to 'duck under' on the approach !
