Given the potentially profound consequences for aviation safety - ATC meltdown and 747 crashes and all that - could you be a bit more specific as to location and number of movements? Don't want to be picky, but "quite a bit of traffic" is silly imprecise.
Creamy - I am sure if this is a problem we will hear from the Controllers and airline pilots in due course...... Depending on the sector/s, the VHF coverage and traffic density, the problem vary greatly. Movement levels are now often a best guess as ATS don't keep records like FS used to. It will be best judged by the ATCO and the number of reports made.
