There was a hop-in into Smolensk blog, I'll find it, Singaporecanac, of what looks very much like another flight controller, as he was quoting flight controller book extracts naturally, and compared the actions of Northern flight controller with "the book".
I would not say I got an impression (from that) of a very friendly controller service provided, but of very experienced one and knowing the rules and his duties way (too) :o) well a man.
It followed he was covering his eh rear end very classy, and very methodically. One would say, an ace! of a controller :o) in action. nd of not a very optimistic disposition, re the decision to try it down to 100 meters.
Or as min that what followed from that chancy interruption into the forum by a visitor (not a daily person we speak with there)
