ATC at LOWW

There are 130 planes inbound to Vienna and both approach radars aren’t active, including the tower (!!!)

It should hopefully be back soon.

Came back rn. This shouldn’t happen, never

Hey ATC is dealing with it. Its a mess right now. Approach needs two people minimum, and tower cannot function without approach in these conditions

Please remember we are volunteers - there isn’t always going to be someone available.

Ofc, I’m not complaining. But if realism is the focus in a sim, things like this shouldn’t happen

Ideally, yes it shouldn’t. But it does.

Yeah ofc, this was a momentary break. As I stated in a different topic, IF on a hub day has much higher traffic levels than IRL airports w/o nearly as many approach + center controllers.

They’re also people, humans with lives, not a personal butler. Please respect them and their time

You’re more than welcome to help out.
If you don’t want to, don’t expect others to :wink:
