Sorry. I can’t as they are detailed and complex to me as I am not an ATC.

Suffice to say they work very efficiently even without radar coverage , with no measurable difference in delays compared to our system and the service is provided by the en route ATC who does not hold an approach rating. US and some Aussie controllers claim separating aircraft in E is less workload than giving traffic information in G. We will never know unless we do a trial!

It was planned to put in the original low level terminal E in June 1993 under AMATS - some 15 years ago- but has been stopped by those who have minds set in concrete. They claim. Won’t work. To many delays. To many extra consoles required. Not safe. Didn’t do it this way before.
