Eye in the Sky, you are obviously not used to Jersey weather! The new Jersey Tower will be in cloud at least 10 times more often each year than the Heathrow one will be: it will be a regular occurrence every time there is a warm sector passing through. There will be low visibility procedures in force when the vis at ground level is fine whilst the tower controllers are in the cloud. It could be both farcical and irritating.

Sean Dell, you make a fair point. But could it be because Jersey controllers just LOVE giving aircraft lots of radar headings these days??

I am usually going to Guernsey, but get the benefit of the "new system of controlling" that Jersey espouse.
