	swissinfo - Skyguide dans la tourmente
		Skyguide réalise 98% de ses recettes (306 millions en 2002) grâce aux taxes de survol et d’atterrissage - qui sont parmi les plus élevées d’Europe et qui ont été relevées en 2003 -, ainsi qu’aux indemnités militaires.
		En attendant, Skyguide a dû gérer toutes les nouvelles routes d’approche de l’aéroport de Zurich-Kloten, nouveautés consécutives à l’interdiction partielle du survol du territoire allemand prononcée par Berlin.
		Skyguide espère décrocher la gestion d’un des futurs centres de contrôle européens, le centre alpin «UAC Alps» en collaboration avec d’autres prestataires.

		The investigation established that the Skyguide air traffic controllers, who failed to ensure safe air corridors for the two planes, were responsible for the accident.
		Peter Nielsen, former Skyguide air traffic controller, was alone at the control panel, while his fellow colleague who ought to have been in his work place, was absent.
		The Skyguide technical personnel carelessly dropped maintenance checks half-finished, and the air traffic controllers did not bother to find out if there were any technical problems although they saw that engineers had still being working with the equipment, the prosecution said.

		For remote control applications we must maintain the default behavior that SkyGuide returns to StartUp mode when the ASCOM connection is closed however we have added a command-line switch to SkyGuide that allows for use with ASCOM Clients such as DeepSky200* which connect/disconnect with every command.
		Command-line options are specified by right-clicking the SkyGuide icon and selecting properties and then in the "Target" box enter the command-line option at the end of all text (outside the quotation marks, if the quotation marks exist).
		If SkyGuide is not yet aligned, but only in Land mode, then the ASCOM Client's unpark command will nicely cause SkyGuide to align-from-last.

		Skyguide claimed in a statement immediately after the collision that it had received an unidentified TCAS descent call from what it believed was the 757.
		Skyguide should have told the Tu-154 to descend to FL350 around 90 sec.

	Air safety and the scramble for profits The background to the air collision over Germany
		The chairman of the Swiss air safety firm, Skyguide, was quick to point out that this contradicted operational regulations, and deemed the traffic controller on duty personally responsible.
		Skyguide, formally known as Swisscontrol, is 99 percent owned by Switzerland, but it is nevertheless a profit-oriented private firm like Germany’s Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH or Britain’s National Air Traffic Services.
		The Skyguide executive board justified the disabling of the collision alert system by pointing out that maintenance work is essential for the continuance of air safety.
