I don't need to get that info from my wife: I have an airside ID still and visit occasionally dear boy. Not only taking piccies for Mercedes-Benz but checking up on you.
Call it on "off watch check" mate.

Ad for extra staff in Flight??
I thought NATS was very anti open external recruitment
I know a few units have recruited directly (EGPD, EGPF) but have never known NATS to put an ad in for specific positions
Where would this LARS service be based? Farnbrough? or spread round the NATS units round the TMA?

Do any of the instructional staff at CATC remember ATSOCAS?
Having said that, I think that the guys at Farnborough have more than enough experience and skill to teach it on the job. LARS and ATSOCAS is not difficult per se, though it can be overwhelming on account of sheer number of talking units... the real skill is in integrating LARS traffic, sometimes under a FIS or RIS, with traffic under a RAS being vectored for approach etc.
Good fun, but worth a little bit more credit on the weighting scale.

Oh dear BEXIL's getting jealous; one from Cardiff and one from Bristol if you must know; a third is tower only (no APS rating)
Why don't you volunteer Bex? The advert should be in 'Flight' next tuesday.
Anotherthing: at least 4 instructors at the college are ex Farnborough; possibly more but I don't know how many have retired recently.

well 'anotherthing', FBO have got naff all chance then. Skill at integrating VFR FIS traffic with RAS inbounds - I see precious little of that..
Oh sorry, you meant integrate their traffic and stuff the rest of us didn't you?
Apologies to those who do help on a regular basis, I'm sure that you know the others to whom I'm referring

It doesn't help when you have stringent noise abatement procedures for arrivals and departures which you can only cancel under pain of death, then someone decides to put a load of temporary helicopter routes in the way without consulting you.
