3. (EGPF here) What is wet? Given a bone dry runway, they are regularly reporting WET WET WET. Why? We need to be able to trust ATC and crying wolf to cover your six is not helpful.
You would be better off going through your own company with this one given the specific nature if it. I am sure a call to NATS and/or BAA at Glasgow will help to clear things up.
4. When departing and going south, why can't we go direct, outside controlled airpsace with one of these new fangled Deconfliction Services?
Oooh... you will get quite a response to that one me thinks!
There might be shiny new ATSOCAS to use but as they say 'you can't polish a turd' and the military still regularly play outside CAS in the Scottish FIR. Need I say any more?
