Athene,
What is the information provided by the CCTV that points at "B1" used for...........and what effect does it being U/S have on easterly operations?
I was under the impression that a conditional clearance relied on the pilot at the holding point being able to see the aircraft on approach that the clearance related to (or the other aircraft ahead on the ground). Does this mean that if Edinburgh were on westerlies, no conditional clearances would be issued if the ATCO could not see the aircraft on final....even if the pilot at the hold could?
Does this mean that you can not give any conditional taxi clearances past the terminal i.e. in the area where you use the CCTV to check that the aircraft is on stand or has pushed back?
The most interesting point in this thred is not the use of CCTV because I believe that it is too expensive if used in anything more than a limited capacity..........but the use of staff at another tower to provide ADC service at more than one place.
