I managed to get hold of a copy of the Unit grading criteria today and for what is supposed to be a transparent structure, it's blooming complicated.....
Not being a mathematician (although I do have an A Level in pure Mathematics and Statistics) I could not get these figures to add up at all...
There are so many holes in the formula for calculating the Airport grades that the French and Dutch could make Cheese out of it...
It would seem that at airfields in Scotland, there is no weighting attached to the formula for Approach Control Complexity (yet for BB and CC there is??). No weighting at all added for any airports for mix of Prop & Jet traffic.
Airport complexity is a joke, apparently, if you have an SMR your job is more complex than if you don't have an SMR-----Try telling that to PF in LVP's.... Apparantly, the more equipment you have to make your job EASIER, the MORE DIFFICULT THE GRADING, since all the equipment is HARD TO USE
