"Whilst on the subject of CAX facilities and ATC, I cannot see any need for radar in the context of separation of CAXs own traffic. There are only eight scheduled CAT movements during the whole day and even if there is the occasional non-scheduled IFR arrival which may conflict, non radar procedural separation should be entirely adequate".
Was it not the case with the now defunct Sheffield City Airport that at least one operator pulled the plug due to the lack of radar, a number of airproxes in Class G airspace and the subsequent inability to come up with a risk assessment that provided adequate mitigation to bring the resultant risk down to an acceptable level?
