Good morning Max1,
After your conversation with Dick, you seem to be an instant expert on the myriad alarms built into the ATC system, their parameters and how often they would go off. How often do you think an alarm set to your parameters would go off?
Not the case,
I was shocked when Mr Smith explained this system was not already inplace.
In a previous life was a RADAR Technician in the ADF, working on much more primitive systems than you are currently operating (SPS 49, 52, 55, Krupp 1006/7, RVP and SYS1 ), and have a intimate understanding of how these primitive systems operate, including the manipulation of code to make these systems work better, so no, Mr Smith is not my mentor on this one.
If these alarms are driving you nuts, the parameters of the programs need to be modified or the alarms are inappropriate and need to be turned off, a computer is simple, garbage in = garbage out, correct the parameters and your hair will probably not fall out a fast.
How often do you think an alarm set to your parameters would go off?
Honestly, NFI, they were just suggested parameters.
