When things get busy at BRM, the cagro is better of keeping off the radio as there is just too much talk.

The Cagro is fine for low and medium density traffic, but useless when busy.

The problem with getting VFR traffic off the cagro is you can get up to 10 VFR aircraft flying in and out at 30 nm when you are screeming throught 10000' doing 8nm a minute. By the time you get it all you are downwind and not even started traffic resolution.

Many a time I have joind down wind at 10000" and descended over water for a 5nm final onto 10.

KNX is even worse as the pilots there have no experience other than "Dick Space" so they either say nothing or make all 15 calls!

KNX will be our first Jet included mid air.
