I did my Heathrow ATC 'face-fitting audition' on that realistic radar sim. Having passed the audition on radar I then went straight into to live training in the VCR prior to radar. At that time the old sim was replaced by the PC thingy. I thought the latter very disappointing. Maybe something to do with the number of people required to operate the former? Not sure I have ever seen a visual sim.

Gatwick?? The busiest single runway airport in the world?!!
The TC area controllers, who deal with all the major airports in the LTMA, not just one??!!
All tongue in cheek old boy - its a complex bit of airspace - having some of the worlds busiest airports in such close proximity (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted must be getting higher with the low cost carriers, Luton (with it's projected growth and the two new holds, London City with it's uniqueness ans 20% annual growth).
I can't think of many places with so many holds for different airports, in such a tight bit of airspace.
Pity the Red Baron does not have a real idea of what we do.
However, I'd sure like to know of any other major airport which handles the same amount of traffic as Heathrow in such a confined space, both on the ground and in the air.

"Engineers et al were working very hard in the lead up to the press day.."
I thought they had been doing that since Day 1 - 'cos it hasn't worked properly since Day 1 !!
BTW - is it capable of simulating a total loss of EFPS info, and creating the printout from which you will all be expected to work? And what about LVPs? (and I mean 100% fog cover & zero ground vis)

The Honkers 360 sim also had Kia Tak loaded into it.They could load any program available,so LL one might be used for sim on KK,SS,GW and even EGPD
That might be cost efficient.
It broke down on a regular basis,and could throw the odd woopsie.As a far as EFPS breakdowns then I guess it's mark 1 writing implements.You band 5 guys can think of something I'm sure.
Funny how Nats trumpets that it's leading the world,but it's only 8 years behind on this one.
