Brisbane Centre/Melbourne Centre ATC'ers....
G'day guys!!
Just wondering a couple of things....
Firstly, if we're on and IFR flight and outside of radar coverage, how do you guys keep an eye on us and what sort of information do you look at? Tis something i've never understood fully.
Secondly, say we're again IFR and flying through IMC where there are "ISOL CB 5000/30000" as per the area forecast, can you see the CB activity on your scopes and be able to vector us non-wx radar equipped aircraft around the bad stuff, ie. CBs? I hear theres a 10 min delay on what you see compared to whats actually happening, is that true?
Thanx guys!
