Just got a mail from him, and yes, 2nm seperation that's if they are landing on parallel runways, like heathrow, but if the same runway it's 3nm. It's 500m Vertical in good weather, 1000 in not so good weather.

Will be funny flying on your hols one day with Nephew in charge of the flight....

you have to press the key combo quite a few times to get it working, but once it's going it's pretty cool. Might be worth making your google earth cache a bit bigger too :-)

Hurrah.
