Utter lunacy... My feelings are with the ATCOs.
me too, Heathrow Director - who's flying the a/c?
The lunatics are certainly running the asylum in this case.
So by that argument if you're cleared for an instrument approach under IFR and have a CFIT the controller is equally responsible? Sheer madness - hope this can go to some sort of appeal and the ATCO is exonerated!
