The arrival vortex spacing varies between countries, and in the UK certainly it varies between airports. In the UK the CAA stipulates that a Light following a Heavy is eight miles. At Heathrow, the same traffic is seven miles apart.

Two and a half miles seems to ring a bell. Is that between medium following heavy?
|
Medium following heavy is five miles at Heathrow.
If there is no vortex requirement (ie. medium following medium, or heavy following medium, we can use 2.5 miles, if certain criteria are met (10kt headwind, daylight, dry runway etc.) |
