Coordination

Essex departures to EHAA FIR should be allocated a maximum level of FL210. EGLL traffic via CLN will be released for climb to S20. Co-ordinate levels individually with Amsterdam for flights not to EHAM.

London TMA arrivals should be sequenced in trail before hand-off to TC NE DEPS or SE DEPS. Use of headings and speed control is recommended to maintain spacing when busy.
