Two of these, one careful owner....

Fabulous! 'First refusal', please! (We have a spare ACR430 to replace our Decca 424). See PM.

Just popped in at the end of this, but (thinking back to my dim and distant past) are SRA heights not advisory, unlike with PAR? Certainly used to be advertised that way. You are only telling (advising) the pilot what height he/she should be at to have the ideal glidepath.

Therefore the responsibility would rest on the Pilot??

Just a thought

Anyone wishing to get rid of kit like this try the Science Museum at Wroughton (NOT the London one) before you do. They were accumulating some unique specimens of ATC gear last time I was there.

Anotherthing.

Yep, heights (at Mil QFE airfields) were advisory. I think the phrase was
" ... miles you should be passing .... ft" Alts no doubt the same.

The intent of an early post was to raise the issue of vectoring below MVA / MSA.

Good old PPRuNe! Another happy ending!
Thanks to PPRuNe's re-cycling potential Talkdownman's unit is now the proud owner of matspart3's hand-me-downs! Thanks, matspart3! Brings a whole new meaning to back-to-back SRAs! Perhaps we could play one end against the other.......so maybe I'll have to change my handle to '2-heads'.........:cool:

You're welcome!!!

Now I can proudly state that there's a Radar unit with crappier kit than us!

If anyone's got a Cat 1 ILS laying around, please pm me!

Why bother with ILS, last I heard Yeovil had a first generation MLS collecting dust in a hangar, and with all the high ground near you it would probably work better than ILS.

And you even got em' with the tip-ex'd acetate overlay! What a bargain!! So now the only worse equipped radar units than EGBJ are............Lasham and the Science museum (in no particular order!) Oh, and by the way Talkdownman...................I do plenty of work! (occasionally)
