The most significant news for ATC this week did not come from a tower or an ACC but from a court room. The Swiss Federal Court declared an ATCO guilty of "negligent disruption of public transport" in an airprox case. It must be noted that the safety nets on ground and in the air worked as expected and no body got hurt in this incident. The ruling is now final and binding and the fine has been confirmed too. This puts a very negative pressure on the just culture in which ATCOs can report mistakes with the goal to learn and profit from them.

The EUROCONTROL Performance Report website was the data source of last week. This week, EUROCONTROL released a new version of their whole website and it now includes a data section. This gives access to even more data than the previous one and is really worth a look. It even includes financial data.
