thanks. my suspicion is that the changes and benefits are really driven by replacing the localisers with one having higher number of antenna (i don't know how many the current ones have off the top of my head) - hence all the stuff about more robust ILS. the new localisers would be lower...

i don't feel uncomfortable with it, i am suggesting in normal operations you would not be anywhere near 35 feet vertical from a localiser at the other end of the runway when taking off- you would be significantly higher by that point! how late do you think aircraft rotate on a runway and how...

Thanks. I don’t know what you think happens on a takeoff, but do you think aircraft would be passing 35ft of the localiser at the other end? I would be very concerned if you were within 200ft vertical of the opposite localiser on takeoff, never mind 35. Edit: bear in mind your takeoff...

I don’t understand how a change in height of the glide slope antenna can change where you can take off from. I am sorry but that makes no sense at all.

you can change the glide angle. the localiser has nothing to do with the glideslope and i can't see it has any effect on the glide angle - you really shouldn't be within 35ft of a localiser on landing so i don't see it being a clearance issue for the localiser array. the glide slope antenna is...

It’s an idea. But I would be very concerned if you were within vertical proximity to a localiser where clearance was an issue on takeoff. Remember that the localiser array is usually well beyond the end of the runway. By that stage you should be a few hundred feet up, if not more.

ok, oddly i did get that. perhaps you can explain how it is that relevant to taking off and changing the TORA? EDIT: it could make sense for landing distances available since it may allow you to shift the TDZ back and basically increase the LDA. however, how does it change the TORA since where...

where is that from @Aviador ? N1 and L1 are nowhere near the end of the runway so I still don't understand how moving them affects the TORA? localiser has nothing to do with takeoffs tho so still doesn't make any sense. if it makes sense to you can you explain it please?

Just replied on the other thread, but frankly this doesn't make any sense (not aimed at you, i realise you are just reporting what you heard) - you don't use ILS for takeoff so what are they on about?

i am not sure i understand what that is supposed to relate to - "lowering the ILS" makes no sense. is it supposed to mean re-basing it and effectively moving the touchdown zone? also why is it talking about TORAs when the changes are to the ILS? TORA is take off runway available, ILS is for...

it's not register once and avoid the kiosks for three years atm. you should expect to register at the kiosks on entry on every trip atm.

it's not register once and avoid the queues next time atm. you should expect to register at the kiosks on entry on every trip atm . see the thread for more comments https://forums4airports.com/threads/7128/

This is EES which the EU has introduced for the Schengen area since October last year. Eventually when rolled out stamps will go and your 90/180 days will be monitored across Europe by the system rather than trying to count stamps. I am surprised you haven't previously encountered it when...

We are going to get a nicer permanent bus drop off point later this year, but yes it’s always going to be busing for arrivals now. And yes I would rather be back in t3 as well primarily because of this.

Lifts and escalators too? Sounds amazing. Move over Changi and Doha :)
