DXB ATC, now there is a subject, I don't know who sets policy, cause the controllers definitely have the ability (apart from the rather emotional young new chappie who was on the other morning who thru all his toys out of the pram for five minutes)
Where do you start ATIS.............
It is a distraction, pure and simple, we do not have all the time in the world to listen to it. With a meagre range of 200 miles, it coincides with our busy period, if you miss the important stuff because of a radio call, then another 2 minutes is needed to hear the active runway or the weather. Everywhere else in the world can cut it to 20 or 30 seconds why cant DXB?
Flow control, chaotic, pure and simple Einstein could of developed a theory on this one!
With all the talent in the ATC, some of the best equipment and facilities in the area, why is it not a lot better?
Who is in charge?
