VERA, (Verification of sEparation and Resolution Advisory, is a tool which predicts lateral separation between two selected tracks, based on radar derived speed and direction
Yes, that's my point - we all have tools available to us - physical or tactical. And we use the one we think more appropriate at the time.
It wasn't a dig at all.
Now - I
was having a dig at Paris, but that's whole different matter.
Anyway - back to the original point of the thread........
There are ATCOs who say "expedite" every day. It is your own opinion on whether that is right or wrong. When a pilot DOES receive that instruction, what should he/she understand by it???
Well, if pilots bear in mind that
the Oxford english dictionary says..
cause to happen sooner or be done more quickly
..then they can put any feet per minute figure on that they wish - just go up or down a darn sight quicker than you are at present (if possible!).
cheers
