Admittedly its smaller planes but they're still airliners, not cessnas. Puddle jumpers. Now try the same trick with a 747 or Airbus 380, which According to wonkypedia the largest aircraft that can use london city is the bombardier C100. 108 pax and 60 tons MTOW. Hardly a puddle jumper. normal 3 degrees for Heathrow and other major airports. A big jet can't approach at 6 degrees safely anywhere near full load, as they tend to stall and fall out of the sky. That sounds iffy to me, got a citation? Military transport aircraft have to come down pretty steep slopes and a lot of them are just modified civilian craft. Plus they wouldn't be near full load anyway as they'd have used up most of the fuel. Pilots don't like City airport much, either. I can't imagine pax are too thrilled about it either. Visited it once , bugger all facilities and a right slog on the DLR. If you lived in north london like I do you'd see airliners on approach and departure from heathrow passing each other with minimum vertical and almost no horizontal seperation every day. You do, of course have the radar records to back this up. However, it Flightradar24 is your friend. |
