Two issues that need sorting
In the case of our present ATC gliding situation there are two issues that need attention.
The basic Tech ability of the system that actually provides the framework and equipment,and also the leadership at the helm of the flying operation.
The failure of the 'operational' part goes back some time but is possible to improve.
The lack of competent leadership on the flying side meant the whole system collapsed in a way that was a huge disgrace in the history of the schools fine traditions. The only part of the organisation that can hold its head up is the volunteer element of the schools that had a record second to none and has maintained a stance of trying to hold their operations together despite the appalling way they have been treated from Syerston.
Regardless what happens in the future the record will show that the flying side of ATC gliding has maintained a service and standards that are a credit to the ATC organisation and deserve a better system and leader to go into its anniversary year.
