When I first became an ATC'er 10 miles was required behind a Jumbo to any non heavy. A Jumbo was a 747, L-1011, DC10 or C5.

In IMC conditions I had a Flying Tigers 747 at 10 mile final and a ANG F-4 at 30 mile final. It didn't work.

Imagine if 10 miles was still required now...

[pilot221]

10 miles is required if behind a Super (A380)

yah I know that... how many of them do you have flying in the US airspace tho. I meant 10 for a heavy.
