MPN11,
Not really the place to ask, but following the BBC News this morning, looked up:
Ground & Other Ops Forums > ATC Issues > LCY Remote Tower.
Interesting ? How feasible is this ? When on my last tour at Leeming, it occurred to me that it was wasteful having an AR-1 on all (most ?) the flying training stations in the Vale of York, when one centrally placed (not necessarily on a Station) had all the range and upper air lobe coverage to provide Approach Control for the lot. Indeed, we had helped Teesside Airport out on occasion when their puny ACR-7D was no use. But Local Control ? - sounds dicey to me.
Should've put a suggestion forward, I suppose (on a no-career contract you're completely bullet-proof !), but couldn't be bothered.
Remembered your Synthetic Mock at Shawbury. Like to know what you think about this idea (no, not mine - the LCY Tower controlled by Swanwick ?)
Where will it all end, one asks oneself ? If one, why not the lot ? (the Final Triumph of Area Radar ?)
