So, this morning we here of an airmiss caused by 2 x USAF F15's. as a result of poor R/T and lack of knowledge of UK ATC proceedures by the aircrew. Our ATC friends are not absolved either. An earlier thread talks of 2 guys killed when they flew into a stuffed cloud. Again poor proceedures by the USAF aircrew and confusion by our ATC. A little while ago we hear about USAF tanking over Norwich, and the ATC/FC not sure if this is allowed or not.
This is starting to cause be some unease as we are finding holes in our knowledge, training and professionalism. (provocative statement I know). Is this being picked up by the "big wheels" and is anything being done.
I am sure I will be told that an investigation has resulted in improvements, but with respect, I have heard all that guff before. What can be shown to have changed as a result of these events that will result in safer operations in UK airspace?
