The "death" of Approach Procedural has been coming for some time!
As a controller who does not have a Radar rating (but wishes he had if only for the money!), I agree with the view that you have to be able to operate safely if you cannot see the aircraft for whatever reason. Safety DEMANDS this!
However, the upside for those like me is that as APP controllers retire, and the demand for us increases (it will you know!) we should be able to get a decent wage for our skills!!!
Ah well I live in hope.
