North Sea Controversial
Sorry to stir up the hornets nest but,. .We in the slopy pyramid are having to, well not having to, but needing to, introduce greater final approach spacing behind landing CHC Scotia Helis. I appreciate that recently crosswinds, surface conditions, noise abatement and inexperienced crews may have added to this problem, also that they don't have a handy high speed runway exit like the other lot. But recently 8 mile gaps (!) have dissappeared. Is there something we need to know? Or are you just trying to wind us up, ...cause its working

Only thing I can think about that has changed is the BAA telling us we are not allowed to vacate at E3 in the hover (although a lot of us ignore this). Has this been brought to the attention of the Chief Pilot?. The use of the words "expedite, there is a landing 737 a hundred yards behind" would focus the mind of a sluggish helicopter crew.
