oil on the runway at Manchester today

I take it an ILS to 23R with a visual break to 23L is no no then in these days of rules & regs.

There is no published approach for that. I would imagine both the lateral distance apart, and the distance between the thresholds (nearly a mile) would give you minimums that would be much greater than the VOR approach. It's also a non-precision approach, which is exactly what the VOR/DME approach to 23L is.

The big delay to flow is primarily the fact you have to land and backtrack, or go to the loop and wait to comeback. This drastically reduces the capacity of the runway.

All in all it was well handled, and if people carried the 20mins hold fuel, I doubt there would have been a need for anyone to divert.

That's enough of that one thank you.
