Fallbacks is only one issue of concern about EFS, there are lots more. The main reason I can see for it falling by the wayside currently is that there is just no business benefit. What do the controllers gain by doing away with paper strips?
Can they handle more flights?
No.
Is it 'easier' to control?
(Currently) No.
Can NATS 'save' on ATSA's.
Not likely.
So not worth the investment at the moment.
