In Hong Kong they used blue holders for inbounds and buff for outbounds.On single runway this was vey confusing,as your brain is programmed for the opposite.The only thing that saved my ass was going back to the system taught in the college 26years ago,the system I use now.Trouble was that others used a different system again so handing over could be a problem.But I never had an incident on any runway at CLK.
This CSD system is crap.I tried it because I've seen different systems etc.This is the worst and completely unworkable at Aberdeen.The most important strip,the one in the active bay is out of sight down by your navel.But still no-one can tell me how you can show a heli departing 34 from the north end,one lined up behind halfway,a fixed wing lined up 34 threshold,2helis landing on 32 at the same time,and one doing a hover check on 23.That's 6 strips in the ''Runway active ''bay.But which runway?
Come on Nats boffins,show me how you display that on CSD.
