As Eastern said, there is nothing remotely dangerous about procedural control, it's just far less efficient. "report passing x", "report reaching y", instead of just seeing it on a radar screen, plus the separations are bloody massive.

Not wanting to pick on you but you do sort of bring it upon yourself.
Lots of airports don't have radar coverage, CoDA for example but then it could be argued it doesn't have many airplanes visiting either!!!!!!

Rumours and Gossip

Anywho back on the point of this site. Any rumours news gossip etc on new routes or destinations. Any one know if anyone sniffing around for any of the route development subsides the boys on the hill have set aside?

Take it the radars fixed then....and all the numptys can stand down now.......sleep, sleep, sleep....as they say

[Tower Ranger]

"Sorry, but to have witnessed 4 aircraft perform 4 go arounds each in the space of 30 minutes is a bloody serious issue both on a safety side and a service side....."

You're right, the guy that posted that drivel must be a complete "numpty"!

[AerRyan]

A go around is a dangerous maneuver?!??!?!? INFORM THE DAILY MAIL!

Nope. Reported elsewhere as NOTAM'd out of service until at least close of business (2130) 24 April.

and let's not forget the DME has been out of service for at least 18 months

Far as I know the radar is still knackered but there is bound to be progress on a fix after 2 weeks! Surely a major radar manufacturer can't just abandon a busy regional airport, bet the customer service survey will be worth reading anyway!

I was flying last week and don't recall any notam about the DME, if it was bust as well how would Harbour manage to issue procedural approaches?

Second daily been looked at for summer 2017 also.

Hmm so this is the last season of roary-smokey F70? I really must haul myself up there to watch it.

I see on Twitter BFS have a stand at Routes Europe this week but BHD haven't. I thought they would have wanted to make their presence known

BHD have raised a couple.

It seems the main selling point for NI is booze....

[GAZMO]

Think they have representatives at show, whether they have a stand I don't know

Perhaps relying on the International staff to vector visitors towards them?

Topical joke!

Belfast City Airport - Belfast City Airport Flys to Poland for Routes Europe

BHD2BFS - BHD have a stand they posted something about it on twitter and it's not just about booze they are showcasing local food.

[BHD2BFS]

Mart901 I believe that stand is the InvestNI stand
According to routes Europe website the exhibitors are BFS and Invest/Visit NI no sign of BHD with a stand

[mart901]

BHD tweeted they are on stand 11 but looks like they are there with others.

[BHD2BFS]

Seems a little Unfair that BHD get to share a stand with invest NI and the tourist board and BFS have to fend for themselves
Some favouritism going on?
