LARS / Radar Questions
ANyone able to help?
What would be the requirements for an airport to have radar installed?
Is it dependent purely of traffic levels? types of traffic? scheduled services? size of aircraft? or is there more to it that than?
Does anyone know what the requirements are to provide a LARS, is this just a radar service for an area as opposed to an airport itself? Do the CAA pay towards such as service?
There are large gaps in the north england and lots of scotland that a LARS service is not available, I think the warton and newcastle are the furthest north, so that misses out the lake district and cumbria and then only Leuchars and Lossie for Scotland, that leaves the whole western side without it.
I take it this is not as required up there as it is in the central/southern parts of the UK.
Do people think there is a need for the service up there?
and who could be pushed to provide a service in these gaps?
Help Please
