Dear Sir,

 

I am writing to you in connection with the above mentioned video wh= ich you have posted at the link below.

In parallel with this email to you I will also be making a sworn representation as to the absolute copyright that NATS Limited has in the content of this video and will be requiring its removal under that right.&n= bsp; However, I am writing to you separately to give you some background around = this requirement so that it does not come across as merely the suppression of pu= bic information that you appear to portray on your website.

 

The content of this recording contains material that is part of an ongoing air accident investigation.  It is NATS’ policy to share this type of content only in environments where confidentiality can be preserved and where the furtherance of safety is the paramount concern.&nbs= p; Without the guarantee of confidentiality, air traffic controllers, pilots a= nd other key aviation workers are extremely reluctant to give full disclosure = of circumstances surrounding air accidents and without full disclosure it is m= uch harder for lessons to be learned that can assist in improving future air safety.

 

Mr Burkill was part of that confidential reporting culture but chos= e to take this recording and use it, without consent, to publicise his forthcomi= ng book.  That was the reason why NATS required him to remove it from his website.

 

Pubic disclosure of this recording may be made by NATS in due cours= e but only at the appropriate time and with the consent of all relevant perso= ns.  Premature public disclosure damages NATS’ stand for a “just cul= ture” among our employees but adds little to the public good apart from satisfyin= g the public’s general curiosity.  The longer the recording stays = on your site the more damage is done to the trust we have earned from our employees and our partners in the aviation safety industry.  I am therefore asking you to please remove it in the interests of speed before t= he legal process you have established has to run its course.

 

If you want to respond to this request or discuss it further then I would be happy to hear from you.
