Speed Separation Notes

The basic separation interval (2 minutes) is applied between types in the same group (or where the following aircraft is one group slower)
An additional 1 minute is added for each successive group when the following aircraft is faster (where the resulting timed interval is excessive, the controller may coordinate an early release)
The basic interval may be reduced by 1 minute when the following aircraft is two or more groups slower (however, the controller must account for wake turbulence separation)
Types not in the speed table (and the subsequent aircraft) are subject to release from the appropriate radar controller.

VFR Procedures

Standard circuit clearance (not mandatory but advised):

Runway	Direction	Altitude
26L	Left hand	1500 ft
08R	Right hand	1500 ft

All VFR zone exit clearances shall be coordinated with FIN by GMP.
