BD,

I think your previous post demonstrates that perhaps your new system isn't fit for purpose yet.

To quote you

Once iTEC goes in things will improve.
Only to airports with EFPS.
Eventually, that's certainly one of the intents of SESAR.
That's not to say it won't improve things in the future. But your answers seem to demonstrate the reservations that I and your colleagues have about introducing new technology that hasn't been thought through properly.

Why not wait until ITEC goes in and wait for things to improve?

Why not install EFPS to all airports?

If that's one of the the intents of SESAR, are we to assume that this technology is waiting for something else to occur?

Surely if you are waiting on all these events to happen then in the meantime someone has to cope with working the new system and also working around the problems and limitations of the new system that you have acknowledged yourself above.

If I had this many unanswered questions or concerns I think I would seriously question the Safety Case?
