Le ping. Love to talk to you some time.
I have always believed we should test just two locations with low level E. One with surveillance to a low level and one without. Considering every airport in the USA with an IFR approach has a minimum of class E you reckon we could do just two.
Find lower workload sectors and low traffic airports and use the existing en route controllers to provide the service.
See what the delays are and then make a decision. Re cost , safety advantages ect
And send a group of willing ATCs to the US and Canada to see how the existing non approach rated controllers provide such a fantastic service there. Modify our procedures where necessary.
I would put you in charge of the trial- or someone you recommended if you did not think you had the abilities- see you have shown here that you have an interest . Many could not care less!
