A defective air traffic control systems upgrade at the National Air Traffic Control Centre (NATCC) last year has put flight safety at risk, claimed PKR leaders today.
T
he upgrade was allegedly defective upon installation, leaving controllers clamouring for the return of the older control system, said Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar at a press conference today.
She said she learned of the issue through documents and letters that had been left at her doorstep, copies of which she proceeded to distribute to the press.
“Air traffic controllers deemed (the new system) Human-Machine Interface (HMI) unstable with substantial weaknesses, prompting the director of the NATCC to send a memo to all traffic controllers, in particular highlighting the ‘inconsistency in cleared flight level’,” she said.
