Does exactly what it says on the tin - no complaints here, just surprised it wasn't implemented earlier - was doing it at LHR in 2000!
From the lack of reponse I think most feel the same....

I was tired after that freighter trip, but not tired enough to NOT know where I landed. RWY 12 OMDW controller said "follow the greens to S290" and yes it worked.
(unless the guy in the tower was flipping switches to make it look that way)

FnB, it's still a bit of a work in progress but it's on the way.
The lead off lights will be selectable as part of follow the greens but one small problem with only having one set of lead offs on at night is when some of the not so familiar customers miss the assigned exit. They usually come to a grinding halt on the Rwy looking for the next exit and that usually results in a go-around.

How about if you want us off at K8 you light up K8 on down and say to the unfamiliar "Exit first lighted high speed K8." I will admit at night with K9 now in the mix it gets a bit tricky at times especially since we know someone is always very close behind us and we have to get off. Nice job by the way. You guys are great.

This is a 'Professional' pilots forum right??
Please guys, the controllers have a hard enough job as it is,without having to baby sit pilots.
Look at the chart in your briefing and COUNT the high speed exits....
K9 is first then K8 then K6. 1,2,3. It's not rocket science and you did all pass your eye tests in your medicals.

Looks like its still on trials. Greens were on a few hours ago leading to an inappropriate departure point. Though, we were never cleared on the greens in the first place.
