Related Recommendations
Continue to counsel controllers to apply caution and conservative judgement to the specific situation of an arriving and departing aircraft, especially where the arriving aircraft is of higher performance.
Develop some educational material on go-around procedures where involuntary overtaking may occur, and promulgate this to pilots and controllers.
Review the use of language in such documents as MATS to ensure that ambiguities do not occur.
