What we're implying when we say that we're limited by realistic radar coverage is that we won't be able to give you full radar coverage to the ground if you're going into an airport in BFE. If you're going into a TRACON or up-down you'll be fine...

What you're implying by "realistic radar coverage" may not be what every controller is implying by saying "service is limited" because of vERAM. Unfortunately, this is open to interpretation.

As Kosmo said, non-radar is still a service which should be provided to aircraft on the ground or below radar coverage. Just because a controller is using vERAM does not mean that s/he can say "you're below my radar, taxi your discretion, call me in the air" to an aircraft at a Class D. I've heard controllers say that.

I'd worry that some controllers are using vERAM's limitations as an excuse not to provider service at all below 5000', except for at the majors.

Everyone please join me in welcoming Josh Burr to his new role as TA at ZTL ARTCC!

Josh rejoined Atlanta in August after several years at ZOB. At Cleveland, Josh was an instructor for over five years, and he served as their Training Administrator for part of that time. He also works at the ATC Sim Lab at his university and originally hails from the Atlanta area.

We are so excited to have Josh join our staff. We are looking forward to everything you will teach us!

Welcome home Josh!
