time for ditching so many superfluous ATC handovers are long overdue. We need a single Europe-wide ATC system and we need it yesterday.
or even better than that, the for ever in utopia FREE FLIGHT!
Back to reality, I'm afraid we are
not gonna see huge improvements in the way we communicate...
Causes:
- political interest
- national pride
- fear of redundancies
- loosing the "human touch"
Just looking at the way Europe has developed, and we see the reflections of bureaucracy as applied to the aviation world.
What a pity, such a waste of human and monetary resources...
ATC (let's remote control those guys...) vs Pilots (don't need those, we have TCAS...), interesting conflict in sight
