As an ATCO at Bournemouth it is good to see some positive comments on the ATC service we provide. We are trying our best, however due to serious staff shortages we don't always manage to provide everyone with full service we would like to!
Booking circuits was a management idea to try to avoid periods of manic circuit activity when no one achieved what they wanted. It has not however provided any benefits and has onlyserved to annoy our customers (sorry). Hopefully the new SATCO (soon to be appointed) will sort that particular problem out.
We are always willing to listen to comments and accept justified criticism, so feel free to contact us in the tower or even better, next time the weather is below your limits, pop in and visit us.
Safe flying
