Morning all,
I'd be interested to know how far the use of electronic voice switching equipment has spread across UK ATC units. My local airport changed over to the Schmid ICS200 system about three and a half years ago and I gather the same system is used at most NATS sites and a few non-NATS sites. Do any airports still use the old lever key and lamp or push button RDCE consoles ?
Old equipment I know but it's what I like best, even though the modern touchscreen consoles offer more flexibility.
Would be good to hear what controllers, assistants, engineers and even managers think about this subject.
All the best.
