Dick,

You are reading these posts as though people are against you. Controllers believe your idea has merit and would improve safety. We are attempting to give you advice as to why it is not the simple matter of a cheap and quick software update, a few procedure changes, and away we go.

You surmise that the alarm would only go off when there is a grave and imminent threat to an aircraft, we are trying to tell you that the alarms go off when TAAATS thinks there may be a problem.

I have given an overview on here of the alarm functions and the myriad reasons they go off.

You state'
"It appears that everything possible will be quoted so that the status quo remains and nothing new is ever attempted."

Quite happy for your idea to come in, put it in at Proserpine. But to roll it out Australia wide will need large amounts of money and the personnel (not necessarily controllers) to do it. We are not trying to stop it, just trying to give you a reality check on what would be involved.
