Im sure the controllers at Gatwick were not too happy when they saw me put putting along the ILS to 8R.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fantastic! And why should you not keep that long line, specially Virgin's 744 to Miami, waiting? After all, you pays your fees, you takes your ILS! Lovely shot. Had me in stitches. What EGKK scenery is that?

Deam on. In reality you wouldn't be allocated at landing slot when the airport was so busy.

 

 

 

Due to increasing demand for runway slots, particularly at peak times of the day, General Aviation operators are

advised that their requested slot time may not be available.

In this case, it definitely wouldn't be available.

Hilarious. I figured about 1400 people were waiting for you to land.

Believe it or not, thats default EGKK...with UTX Europe underneath. The traffic is My Traffic X 5.4b

The combined fuel cost would pay for that Cessna

Haha- That's one great screenshot- but if you ever keep my B744 waiting, you'll be paying my virtual fuel bills   :lol:

Great!

That just makes me wonder why noone got 08L assigned?

Gatwick in real life only uses one runway because both runways are too close together for safety reasons. The southernmost runway is considered the "prime" runway and the other is only used in emergencies

Ah ok, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

I like the busyness! The grass looks good considering it is not part of a payware airport package!

Many centuries ago I flew into Gatwick in a TB10. I had to keep my speed up so was very nose down all the way until touchdown after halfway down the rwy.
