Is there an official definition of a "VFR tower" or a "non-radar tower"? A VFR tower is a tower with no radar at all in the cab or a DBRITE that has not been certified for separation services. An example of a VFR tower are all contract and non federal towers. Grand Forks, ND is VFR, Van Nuys is VFR, etc. Almost all class D towers are VFR. |

Or then again, scratch that- they clearly don't know either....maybe Serco or Midwest ATC could give you an answer. :-) Chip, ZTL |

If only that damn union would get out of the way, we could outsource for some 8-track capability. I favor privatization for just that reason, but these "experts" didn't even bother to develop a model of the system they want to modify immediately. Boeing spent a fortune developing a model to implement DCAC and take advantage of manufacturing automation, but there was still a nose wheel collapse on the the first DCAC 747-4xx. |
