How do you operate into half or more of the no radar, no control zone fields allover the world?
Its called AFIS units ,Unicom, Company Fq etc.
Yes they have to have basic Fire and rescue services.
What is required in the UK now that could be much different, indeed.
The thread is about EGBB, which is in the UK
ATC IS required for operations to continue, the procedures between the ATC centres and the airfield require it.
If the failure required movements to stop, as it did, that is what happens.
Full stop for this case.
I am fully aware of what happens elsewhere in the world.
