Pan...And there was me thinking you were doing so well. .....hey ho .

Anyway WALDO. It is a relatively new radar. It MAY not have been the best piece of kit that could have been sourced (imo) but they bought it.
There are MANY procedures that may be used when radar is not available. Ever flown across the Atlantic? Not a hell of a lot of Radar available there.....is THAT a safety issue/ No...it is not.

When radar is unavailable ...things slow down. The margins of separation INCREASE dramatically. You may be a little inconvenienced...but you will most certainly be safe.
