    This system is already in use in Sweden, Norway and if I'm not mistaking, in Australia too.. as with everything in aviation, they have a backup line with pretty instant fall-back. If for some reason r-ATC fails, pilot will simply get back to previous controller (in this case Shannon) and ask for a diversion.

    I'd say this system is probably safer than a single ATCO left on a quiet tower during night battling fatigue and trying not to fall asleep

    Do you guys know how comms work, I mean on traditional transmission Cork approach is 119.9 and tower is 119.3, would these still be in use and re-transmitted via IP to the controller in Dublin or would the entire traditional transmission now be IP and connected to the r ATC?

    Try this with light training aircraft at Cork and accident is waiting to happen :eek:

    How so? I've seen this being tested by the Cork controllers in Dublin, and it's extremely realistic. If you'd rather be controlled by a possibly fatigued and simply bored controller in a dark tower with the DA, then I suggest reading up on it a bit more. It is more cost effective, and has its pros and cons, as every new procedure or concept brought into aviation does.

    Not necessarily just a realistic one. Anybody who has ever worked nights, especially when you have little to do knows how easy it is to loose concentration/focus. Not doing work can be tiring as your brain switches off and at night this can be worse as your natural body clock kicks in to double this effect.

    Why? Because in a busy training environment like the one in Cork it's important that the controller is very familiar with the field and and it's (un)ussual procedures and situations that can occur. If it was only jet traffic in Cork with a single GA flight here and there I would be very supportive of any new and innovative systems that could increase efficiency.
