Slackie!

Apologies in my last thread, it wasnt a personal attack on you, more just the general concensus that i have heard in 'conversation', apologies if it came across the wrong way.

I agree, with all that you have said, not passing traffic information etc etc, and yes UNICOM should not over step their mark, however like anything i am sure that there are situations where things have been said by UNICOM at ardmore and a potential disaster has been averted!

I think you are probably right, that given how Ardmore operates, maybe an AFIS would be better such as Milford Sound?
I know that your a local operator now, so what are your thoughts? Would AR be better with no one there at all,? make UNICOM work from the bottom of the tower? or go to full AFIS?
