Bpilatus, making an assumption here but I presume you are not a commercial pilot. Subsequently it is unlikely that you have ever actually paid for your Air Traffic Service. In fact you get it for free and the big airlines such as BA pay for you to receive a radar service.
This though goes totally off the plot , ATCOs have very little to do with Flight Briefing ,it does not generally come within our domain and is handled by Air Traffic Service Assistants ATSAs. We have not been made aware of the difficulties that the GA community have been experiencing since the introduction of this new system. let alone know that a new system was in place.
Popham may not have A FBU the suggestions made were that it may be prudent if unable to access the web that day to call the nearest large ATSU.
This is a short term solution and naturally it is vital that whoever is responsible for the web site to ensure that it accessible at all times.
As I reiterate again you may think we are an arrogant bunch of s...ts. But we were responding to incomplete information. Since we have been made aware about MrCross and his intentions you will note that he has infact had our support.
The reason why very few suggestions have been forthcoming is because flight briefing is not an ATCOs domain, I can assure you if it was, if I was able to offer any suitable suggestions I would do so.
