Iron City,
I've listened to the sound bite three times, and the Everitt part particularly ,and can't find the statement about com failure not being a safety problem from Mr. E.
I think this is the bit folks are talking about....
JH: What about messages cutting out? It's worrying if the pilots cannot make contact.
RE: Well firstly can I say it is not an aviation safety issue, it is something that we don't want to happen.....
So, no problem then
Didn't the last issue of the NATS "Safety Matters" booklet have a centre page spread on loss of comms?
Maybe a few copies need to be sent up to OKS.
Big John.
