Cross the Pond Planning

Hello all,

 

Just a suggestion to the CTP planning team. At the beginning of this year, we had CTP Westbound, with Heathrow being one of the departure airports. The difference this year compared to others is that some CTOT's were only 1 minute apart, with a/c being on the same SID, that requires 2 mins departure separation, it is impossible to depart a/c in accordance with their CTOT. Although we have +10/5 for CTOT's, that still put us behind and it becomes an impossible task to recover from there.

 

I understand the CTOT's are [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned for NAT track separation, but can we try to either alternate the SID's [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned so we can have routes that only require 1-minute separation from the departure airfields. Alternatively, extend the duration of CTP but not release any more CTOT's. We had so much non-events traffic this year, we needed more fire-breaks to make it work.

 

Regards,
