Title of this post might be slightly misleading however I have been doing a lot of flying in and out of Gatwick (EGKK) which was once (not sure if it still is) the busiest single runway airport in the world.
Something occurred to me: not once on final, arriving at various periods of the day, has there been ai queuing at the hold short point to take off once I have landed. This struck me as odd.
I fly using Radar Contact and AI Smooth, along with Active Sky. AI moves normally when I am taking off, and a little while after I have landed.
My question is this – is AI Smooth, or Radar Contact preventing movement on the ground whilst I am on the approach? Is there anyway to lessen the effect of this if so? Or is something else affecting ai departures? I'd love to see a queue of departing AI when I am landing.
I am sure someone out there must have an idea?
Thanks in advance
