'Slight' drift.....

Re ' TAAATS/Eurocat can't even replay all the possible data. The functionality exists, ASA didn't tick the option box'.
Now, there's an indicator of the 'mentality' of the time.........
Even in 'De Ole Days' of de OLD technology, the various tapes were kept for 30 days, under 'lock and key', .....then if not required they were re-cycled.
As was ALL 'paper-work' - Flight Progress Strips, 'Scratch Pads (Aeronautical Telecommunications Record - CA 71s to us, later revised to AF 71.....No difference) And any Journals from Supervisor desks - these were kept 'permanently'..
And the 'Golden Rule' - 'Thou Shall Not Rub Out'.......A line to be put thru any 'mistakes' and the correct info to be inserted alongside....Just in case......
Doesn't help 'Ballina type situations' at all, just sayin'.........
