Thank you, Janet.
Yes, the 9020 software was transferred to new hardware, the HCS, which will handle FDP (and RDP- anyone know?) for NERC. The NERC workstations gives us colour screens, the co-ordination tools and a twenty minute soft landing in the case of an HCS FLOP. Oh, and SIS, which I happen to think is the dog's b***x apart from minor tweaks.
In evidence, have you tried to do a route amendment or an AU in the Flight Data Editor and got the dots right first time? Also, never forget the mystic mantra, "NAS before NERC", there because the NERC workstations won't work properly without correct flight data in HCS.
Incidentally, I heard on not especially reliable authority that it was decided not to build a Swanwick FDP system because that would have put 'O' date back to 1998!
