ATC System
The Transport and Housing Bureau have no faith in our clever DG anymore after the Legco report, they have asked NATS to evaluate AT3 before commissioning it. For our leaders to hold their heads up as if nothing has happened is shameful, they must be trying hard now to pamper NATS so that the report will not be so damaging. We will still be the victims of their mistakes and they will collect their big pension regardless.

The UK NATS report might say this:
CAD to scale down the ATC operation and hand over the appoach airspace to Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai. We can only run business on enoute. Sounds reasonable?

Our management should apology to us that they made mistake in buying this unusable system and beg for LEGCO to grant another sum of money for a less aggressive system - ddgca/adg(yes) don't bluff to outstation that we are number one in the region anymore. Meanwhile, spend more money to upkeep the current system until the new one is ready. Controller only need a simple system not the current fake new system or other famous brand world class system as we don't have money, no manpower and no time.
Management, please listen, this is all about safety.

We are not trying to replace AT1 with AT3 on our existing more stabilized system here. we are actually trying to build everything brand new from scratch, spreading resources thin for every project.
In fact, AT3 can be made to work with existing AT1 sub systems. all the testing run so far, with life data came from the old system.
Even we decided to build everything brand new, if RTN was the lead integrator for the whole system, then pressure will be on them to complete everything on time on order before everything can be integrated then they get their money. yet, the decision was made to integrate everything ourself, not to mentioned, with our technical skills from the AT1 era.
Listening they may be, but look at the decision so far, i doubt how their next one would be....................

Don't worry, FDP is not a core system, there are many other more important core systems in our grand ATMS that FDP can be ignored. We are going to have paper system and very soon SOO(P)1+3 will call for staff consultation of paper size....A3, A2, .....or a clip board. If we make more noise again, they will give us toilet paper roll in each position for recording the flight data.

no problem, you got FDP, it is even more positive this time. The Fallback just refused to site there doing nothing, so it became the 2nd Main to double the flight data for you, free of charge. that is double positive.

Oriental Newspaper today-
???? ????????? ?????? - ????
Although the newspaper said 4.2、3.8、4.1、3.7 nautical miles are no good, but I think 3.7 or even 3 nautical miles are also legally ok
and not very catastrophic.

The fluctuating ruler scale is an as-per-design world class feature, only in Aids-Tear-Fear, specially designed for pragmatic Hong Kong controller. They thought you liked it?!

獨家揭露 民航處半盲空管系統 年中冒險啟用
東方報業集團自二○一三年開始，連番踢爆民航處斥資十五億元更換的新空管系統Autotrac 3問題多多，即使最近進入測試亦多番故障及失準。消息人士再向本集團揭露新系統存在重大瑕疵，雷達竟未能同步更新「近距離航機位 置」，導致空管人員無法及時識別兩架航機相距低於四海里的安全距離；而屏幕上的航機位置更新頻率，亦較十多年前引入的舊系統更慢 ，性能「新不如舊」。問題雖經已反映，但民航處高層堅持新系統要在今年六月前啟用，航空安全堪憂。有民航機師指新系統如未能準確 監測近距離航機的位置，會影響機師判斷與鄰近航機的安全距離，必須正視。.....
