Agree with Wander00 completely. They can't even revert to manual flight strips and procedural control any more, as all the data is on electronic displays fed from the central computer.
West Drayton was bad enough, but at least had 'manual reversion'. SwanFork is a dreadful concept, made for purely commercial reasons ... with a little bit of "our electronic/IT people in UK are REALLY clever". CoffmanStarter ... don't believe that option exists anymore!! I have seen "Strips to Manual" at WD when the strip-printers went down - that was bad enough! |
As I retired from Civil ATC, EFPS [Electronic strips] was coming in { a Spanish system I think} with a quote that it was 100% reliable.... and had no need of manual back up
Right!! |
I blame the Russian Submarine..... oops sorry - I've woken up the bring back an MPA brigade again.
|
From 10:30 onwards... (Though it's all good)
|
The Flying Prevention Branch really living up to its name.....:*
Glad I flew back to London Airport on Thursday night rather on Friday this week! |
