Radar

I'm with you on this....sometimes Radar is more of a hindrance than a help...and I particularly don't like the fact that the whole range of equipment designed to catch us out works perfectly whereas the conflict alert and prediction tools do not....especially on gradual closure at higher levels. At one time our worst problem was track jitter.....now there is so much "coasting" or "damping" that anything other than a significant turn will not register for several updates.....Progress?????/////Anyhow MATS 1 still begins with the mother-of-all-common-sense statements.
