The ATCC Centre being run by contracted NATS
Since when?
As far as I know, the States run the Area function of Jersey ATC themselves (as well as all the rest of the ATC at Jersey).
Nothing to do with NATS then (.... wouldn't mind a few years on the island myself though
...)
I understand NATS and light aircraft do not go well together.
Don't agree, and I'd be interested on what you base this. As has already been stated NATS is just another ANSP, contracted to various airfield owners and the UK government.
Light aircraft (infringers) and BIG aeroplanes don't go particularly well together, and this is a problem for NATS, GA and the travelling great unwashed.
