malecontrol
Spitoon post 11 is perfectly clear. What do you want us to say? I suggest that you have been given a new toy and you are determined to use it as such. Treat it as a monitor to "give yourself an informed picture" of the traffic situation. I think you are in danger of catching the ATC disease of Chronic Overcontrol. Stop concentrating on the "fish-finder" and use the Mark One Eyeball........refer to the radar occassionally [briefly] and resist trying to control with it. Talk to the pilots [out of work, that is]....I think you'll find that traffic information rather than positive control is more useful because it enables them to fly the plane and use their own judgement.....especially if they're VFR. Use control application only in the accepted sense that an aerodrome controller uses it.......be prepared to recognise that you are not a radar controller in the environment that you have described.
Good Luck.
