Yeah right !

Sorry Bullseye but it really ain't the same, and I really don't think we play to the same rules. Like when the power went down at ScACC on Fri, Buchan were asked to avoid all civil traffic. First thing I say when the radar came back is 'avoiding action' against 4xF3s wearing Buchan squawks doing 2 on 2 across the advisory routes north of Glasgow heading at my commercial traffic, same level 10 miles and closing.

For RAF ATCOs I think shorter courses are in order (a la Dundridge), but no disrespect, FCs don't do ADC or radar circuits and speed control.
