In July I visited the NATS tower at Heathrow Airport to interview my guest Adam Spink. We chatted about some of the mechanics of air traffic control at Heathrow and the unique ways of optimizing throughput. A few days later we met again on the tower of Fairford during RIAT 2019 and chatted about the specifics of ATC’ing during an airshow.

An interesting, if somewhat episodic, episode. I really like Adam Spink as a guest – he projects a quiet but confident competence, very gently and politely correcting mistaken assumptions in the question. I also was positively surprised hearing the name of my former employer as a SESAR contributor – they always punched way above their weight!
Thanks for your comment, Stephan, I do hope what I was attempting to explain came across!
Thanks for another excellent episode. Adam answered a lot of my questions about ATC in a very compelling and interesting manner.
