Yes, Yes, Surely truely the system was absolutely "Normal" my Lord. especially you know, it occurred at RAT only, and the so called Reliability Acceptance Test has nothing to do with the CORE FUNCTIONS.

lepsap 18th Nov 2015 11:14

let me educate the new member: it is just one of the many core functions like what you described as plural. there are many core functions in this rubbish. all these functions are designed to generate workload. no wonder they could sell to india with so many cheap labour. is this system a free gift to india which bought a lot of missiles from this company? :*:eek:

Hmmmm, even the written communication is as clear as what I hear on the radio most days. Here is my shocked face :eek:

LapSap 18th Nov 2015 12:29

Indeed Trafalgar.
The vast majority are very good though.
A new record hourly movement today I'm reliably told.


youknowwho; yes, we know who. Give it a rest. Your daily pseudonyms are getting kind of predictable.
Lot of work to be done; but what's the alternative?
Answers on a blue transfer slip please. In triplicate. It's HK you know.
(I swear I saw carbon paper in the ATCX the other day)

youknowwho 19th Nov 2015 12:53

Sure there are a lot work to be done. but by Who? and What?

What about those you paid for, yet end up DIY. Sure that is good training I believe.

Well, Don't just mention India or Dubai here. have a look at NZ, SG, MY. or even Incheon, Chengdu. :}

youknowwho 19th Nov 2015 13:59

It made me wonder, If the new ANC can made to work with the old AT1, why can't AT3 make to work with the other existing subsystems?

Instead of spreading resources all around to build every single piece brand new from scratch and finished in the wrong order, Why can't made AT3 work first?

It is like giving birth, every bits' out, except the head.

youknowwho 20th Nov 2015 13:51

How long has ATCC been completed by now? how long has AT3 been running there?

Have you ever notice how many days ATCC left deserted? how often you found anyone were doing anything there? it doesn't look like there are a lot of work to be done at all.

HK? it is more like another planet

Beholder 24th Nov 2015 09:35

The current setting might not work for lower than current capacity. An arbitrary percentage of reduction might not sufficiently highlight the problems in this new (old, as a matter of fact) system. Aren't you aware of some funny system behaviour that would paralyse the operation during the conversion training? Try to be more vigilant in Module 4 and Module 5. :E

youknowwho 25th Nov 2015 14:17

Right from the Boston days til now.

Adaptation didn't even had the minimum data to activate all major functions and allow more realistic scenario to run.

Yet, the system managed to get pass so many "Acceptance Test".

The Raytheon guys knew you have to accept it, no matter what they throw at you.

The smart people of Hong Kong will just make it work, in 23 months.

TOIL 4th Dec 2015 13:47

Foxtrot.Z, that guy would certainly sleep well as such a person can bring down cad, what else he cannot do for his own goodness. Surprised to know 23 months to complete this project, it must be a myth, a miracle! He must be a harbinger of all engineering works, a model in engineering world. :ok::E

VSD 8th Dec 2015 14:35

23 months completion time for such a complex project must be a new Guinness World Record. Well deserved many promotions!:D

youknowwho 8th Dec 2015 15:04

No, it was well completed since the beginning.

The 23 long months was given just for you old people to take up the new system.

A-GPS 9th Dec 2015 13:44

23 months is very long, we can get a instrument rating.

delay_no_more 11th Dec 2015 11:22

News from HQ, we would use the new system in terminal areas. Can't wait to see this happen soon.

john_null 11th Dec 2015 23:07

TCAS_RA is not something they would care about but earliest use of the new system so that they can escape from ma ma's watching.

john_null 11th Dec 2015 23:12

Well said :ok:


An innovative engineer designed the ATM project to be finished in 23 months won all the prizes.........being promoted three times in a few years' time. He now successfully passes the buck to the users who make all the noises including this one. No ATM system in the world can be completed within 23 months. This crpy system would take 23 years. On behalf of all ops colleagues, thank you for your innovative idea. Looks like you need to invent more pragmatic idea so that the DDGCA post can still be reserved for you. This machine is nightmare to all of us, I hope you share our concern and do not sleep well every night.
He and his bosses should be transferred to look after our high-speed rail project.

youknowwho 12th Dec 2015 05:06


He and his bosses should be transferred to look after our high-speed rail project.
It is the other way around. Every MTR project had similar stories. it is more like they tried but didn't learn properly from MTR. Nevertheless, MTR fired their lousy bosses a lot quicker.

How can we run two different systems with the current manpower?? I still want to take some vacation leave in the first half of 2016.

EARLY-GO 18th Dec 2015 12:21

Can anyone confirm the guy who wrote the procedure is being fired? Hope to see a better writer, the one we are trained on is workload driven. He should be fired earlier.

Chingchung 21st Dec 2015 01:24


This is how dg create his horse stalls culture. He once said to his subordinates "do not 對號入座" but then he creates a bunch of shoe shiner, yes sir, no problem, etc.
shoe shiner.....sounds like someone in project.:E:E:E

"Can anyone confirm the guy who wrote the procedure is being fired? Hope to see a better writer, the one we are trained on is workload driven. He should be fired earlier."


Nice work EARLY-GO.


Nothing like playing the man and not the ball.


You think the guys over there take any joy in having make the thing work to your satisfaction? Its a dog's breakfast.


Focus on the real problem, not the poor guys trying to make it work.


Feel free to offer your services if you think you could do better.


You make me sick

EARLY-GO 22nd Dec 2015 12:40

Sarcasm works well.

Everything is bad except there is still early go in the day one operations. The engineers are laughing at us, the blame successfully passed to atmd that the head of us accepted it because of his evil agenda.

Sometimes, being fired is good. We will be very surprised if any tailored-made procedure would work on this system with only 16 days Detail Design Review with the contractor.

Our great engineering chief + engineering head + ddgca, may I have your attention now. Thank you for your bright idea: 23 months to have a sophisticated system work as per design, 16 days DDR (as compared to 9 months spent in AT1 project), give-away of safety requirements, etc etc. Countless of wrongdoings.....now you pass all the fault to the users - controller and assistant. I now formally curse your act.

Time for a decent break, Mike!

Beholder 28th Dec 2015 09:52

Not sure if it is safer the new system only happens on approach and tower. An engineer said they were quite ready to support the two-centre operation.

A-GPS 11th Jan 2016 08:28

You guys are having a difficult time, I hope someone can translate the following in English.

:}???? ????????? ?????? - ????

I thought three miles separation is the minimum not four miles.

FAD 12th Jan 2016 15:31

18 days of Detailed Design Review (2 days on console) for this air traffic control system, what do you expect???

john_null 17th Jan 2016 08:27

Our DG decides to run away earlier than expected, does it mean the new ATM system is confirmed very "unsafe"? OMG! :eek:

TOIL 17th Jan 2016 10:49


"..........run away earlier than expected.........."
Would you mind share with us?

john_null 17th Jan 2016 15:29

He will leave in this Sept and cannot extend three months.

youknowwho 18th Jan 2016 14:09

Sept is not early at all unless he takes the system with him.

Even if that allows to happen, you may just have another 23 months.

lee.ho.ma 19th Jan 2016 12:53

Your director, once said hk controller is a factory worker, will leave in May this year.

TOIL 20th Jan 2016 11:58


So when will ICAC arrest him and his fellow DDG, ADGs?
ICAC will not interrogate them as they are running out of coffee, besides, they are not committing any crime in corruption, they are just all rapists.


ICAC: Independent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong)

youknowwho 20th Jan 2016 12:53

Would there be any chance that AT3 go with him?

At the end of the day, do the whoever/wooever knowing what really need to be done? and getting what we need?

TOIL 20th Jan 2016 13:28

youknowwho
 
At the end of 23 years, the whoever/whoever will know what really need to be done and get what we need...........but, the contractor will, again, use a ridiculous low tender price to cheat CAD. The new system is a fake system, it can only handle four aeroplanes in holding pattern. Whoever try to handle six (as required) will get caught by this state of the art label design.

youknowwho 20th Jan 2016 15:44

I am not so sure the contractor was the only one trying to cheat here, at the first place.

The legendary 23 months is more than a perfect match for the ridiculous price

EARLY-GO 21st Jan 2016 07:11

follow strictly to what needs to be entered into this garbage system otherwise the system will punish you by not allow you to key in anything.

youknowwho 21st Jan 2016 13:42

Just look at how ASA rated RTN for Onesky (page 3)
http://auntypru.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Airservices-OneSKY-Document.pdf

youknowwho 21st Jan 2016 14:55

Keep seeing the word CAATS everywhere in AT3, didn't realized until seeing this old thread here. That is really something before AT2.

youknowwho 22nd Jan 2016 14:13

The ancestor of AT3, CAATS was done some 15 years ago, but it still appeared in The Vancouver Sun recently as a bad examples.


.....
The Canadian Automated Air-Traffic system was 11 years late and, at $1 billion, more than 50 per cent over budget.
Transport Canada continually tolerated problems in its early development, putting the project behind schedule and in danger of collapse with more than 5,300 ordered changes to the system. It then admitted the project had become a “mess.”
The federal government dumped that mess in 1996 onto Nav Canada, as part of its privatization of Canada’s air navigation service.
Nav Canada, now a private corporation, took a different approach — demanding $7 million in penalties from a contractor, threatening to make its own system outside of the contract and making it clear to software firms there was no further changing of the project’s scope.
In the end, hundreds of millions of extra dollars were spent on a system that now forms the backbone of the nation’s air traffic system.
...

Looking at this, RTN are pretty decent this time compare with what they done to the Canadians.

Comm'on, it is an old news, let bygone be bygone. Let uncle buy you ice cream and don't make noise, ok? If you don't like ice cream, what about give you some TOIL??

TOIL, Icecream?
 
Who wants either in this miserable weather?
