Belman,I once visited west drayton for a famil visit.I got taken around the ops room and had a go on their simulator running LGW/LHR DEPs and ARR.Great fun.I asked if they had any set srtategies that were employed but the senior atco i was with said they just make it up on the day using experience.Radar headings and speed control work well in tactical situations with different categories of aircraft.Did you know that if a pilot turns his transponder off all atc info is lost
