Barnwood, Read the words !!!!
We clearly stated 'Safeskys preferred route'.......
We would only propose to have one ADC rated ATCO going through radar training at any one time. Clearly, the contract could not carry lots of trainees.
If all the ATCOs left then any contractor would need to replace them with ADC/APR rated ATCOs (Visit the website
www.safeskys.co.uk to apply), however, although the possibility that all the ATCOs could leave is remote, there are contingency plans in place to train up enough ATCOs to man the tower in both positions in the 6 months phase-in period. If only a couple leave then our preferred route is feasable.
We do talk to CAA SRG and always discuss our plans with them.
