Donetsk, where rebels already destroyed airport flycontrol tower
about a week ago. There were no traffic comtroller in Donetsk to
guide a plane. Rebels destroyed that tower in order to clear a sky
from civilian planes.The_Chieftain: Rebels are idiots. Airport control towers only control
aispace within a couple of miles of the airport, and only up to a
few thousand feet altitude. Towers are a convenience to pilots, but
not necessary. For example, when I landed two nights ago after my
San Francisco flight (see FB picture :P), the tower had shut down
for the night, and I just co-ordinated direct with the
aircraft that was a couple of minutes behind me. The
airliner would have been talking to an Air Control Centre, there
are only going to be one to three for the average European
country.if they even have one at all.
