It will be a while before it is operational.

The current tower and radar rooms have to remain operational during the
transitional stage so no equipment can be removed from them. Everything in
the new tower is therefore brand new and not necessarily identical to the
old stuff - which means the controllers are required to revalidate to
operate in the new building. This will take time.

It would be ironic if a controller fails to validate in the new building
because he can't get to grips with the new equipment. It's unlikely but it
does happen.

Sorry to be so quiet, heavy work schedule at present.

Home for a noisy few days - Farnborough Validation this week.

I see John Wornham has added a few interior shots of the New Ronaldsway
tower!

Nice view....

best wishes
