Broadreach and ATC Watcher :
Some ten or fifteen years ago Italian ATC was changed from a military organisation into a civil one, which is called ENAV. I don't think this operation brought many difficulties. Staff remained the same, no uniforms anymore. Management was changed. But for the details we would need an Italian contribution. I'll try to find something on the web.
While I am on line on this thread I'd like to thank the Brazilian and other members who master the Portuguese language for their input to keep us updated on progress (or lack of, if one prefers). Please continue, really appreciated.
