This in some respects is going to be a huge & positive step.
However, I have some real reservations, especially if the increase in "heavier" movements fails to materialise.
I guess Matspart 3 and 360 will need to be validated and deserve a hike in salary (you're worth it). How many ATCO's will need to be radar rated?
Who is going to maintain the hardware and keep it all calibrated. Then you are going to have to pay Flight Precision (or someone) to come and flight test on a regular basis.
Don't ever contemplate LHR services.
Midland pulled out of BHX, EMA and I think Teesside and L'pool in order to utilise LHR slots for much higher yield routes.
How will you adjust circuit & VFR tfc when you have multiple arrivals on the ILS? Will you be prepared to break off IFR training approaches at 4 miles and enable circuit tfc to continue. (and can we trust one or two to fly a circuit inside 4 miles
) I think you'll be inundated for training!
How will fees & charges be scaled or are the regular locals going to feel the pinch
