Hey, MancBoy, almost sounds like you know what you're talking about!

Very surprised to see an area type know what goes on at an airfield!!!!

uk20,

So if I can think of a system that will generate all this info....I could make millions.
I'm afraid probably not. As others have said, it's been tried before. The most recent attempt was named FAST and it was found that it was being outperformed by humans. Too many variables, I'd imagine.

And then of course there's a whole new argument about ATCOs getting to rely on a computer to tell them how to do their job, and then one day the computer stops..................
