Legalising online streaming of UK ATC communication
Revoke the 1942 law preventing public from listening and streaming UK Air Band radio transmissions captured using legal Air Band Scanners.
Why is this important?
With times changing this old law is now obsolete and needs re-writing. Most countries allow their Air Traffic Control radio communications to be streamed on web based sites such as Live ATC, and transmitted to the general public for the entertainment of all.
The United States does not ban transmission of these frequencies as they no longer deem it a threat to national security now we are in peace time, so why should the UK?
By broadcasting these frequencies it can be an educational tool to assist in the understanding of UK aviation phraseology for student pilots and enthusiastic flight simulator fans.
By changing this law it will allow people who do not have access to Air Band scanners the ability to enjoy the daily goings on of UK aviation.
