We will be back Thursday afternoon and I concur with your comments about the Antrim Sector. Excellent service and help Guys and Gals.:ok: Interesting morning what with Radar on maintenance,LVP's and WIP on the main drag when LVP's were cancelled.
Will have SSR only for Friday so that will help. A B737 on the 14 DME arc does wonders for your vectoring skills dosen't it:eek:

As an aside I did a safety survey on non radar procedures in the TMA a while back and came to the conclusion that they need to be improved and our tech. committee are working on it now.:8

Cheers:ok:

I bet you would like to work alongside Full Length:E

WA ,
yeah the arc procedure comes interesting close to where you really don`t want it to be. Had to use some headings I hadn`t used in years. If we had SSR life would be, how should I put it, a lot less err exciting!!
Seriously though, surely it must be possible to have a procedure drawn up for us to vector your traffic onto the ILS and handle your departures with direct handovers from the Scots. It would save your guys a lot of work, particularly the ones with no approach rating, and the TMA could operate more or less as normal. After all before Alberts` intervention it was normal for you to do the same for us when we`re procedural.
As for Full Length I am sure we can come to some arrangement, when IS the Christmas do?

The only answer I can give you on this forum is politics I am sure you will be contacted with date,time etc.
BTW there is a topic on Airlines, Airports and Routes about Futura and BHD. I posted my views but before I make a complete a#seho*e of myself, do you think a LEMG bound B734 or B738 could make it out of your place?
Cheers:ok:

What

No Primary
No SSR

Thank *@£$ I'm on leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surface, we were just thinking the same thing!!

WA I would not like to say it was impossible but it might not be pretty on a warm day. All sorts of charter companys look at us and it has been quite a while since the Futura visit.However being under Spannish ownership now may make somewhere sunny out of the City a bit more likely. I`m still holding out for a job share at Malaga!!
