Congestion at YSSY Tonight
Apparently there is debris on 34L and so 34R is being used for arrivals and 25 for departures. Quite a queue of plans over Goulburn Crookwell area. I noticed that Air Austral B77W (F-OSYD) and a Singapore B77 (9V-SVM) were almost shadowing each other at one stage except they were 2000' apart.
What is the normal separation distance when plans are in holding patterns like this?

1000ft and 3nm is the separation minima with radar in terminal airspace, but Goulburn is probably classed as enroute airspace, so 1000ft and 5nm. I think this changes again above certain flight levels but not sure.
