Good day,

It is with tremendous regret that I announce the unfortunate and unexpected resignation of Fraser Cooper from his post as Heathrow TGI. Fraser has been in post since April 2023 and has worked for a long time for the benefit of Heathrow on VATSIM, overseeing some fantastic changes within the TG and pushing Heathrow training to ensure that we consistently deliver prompt and high quality training to those who seek it.

Fraser's contributions include overseeing the provision of training to S1 rated members at Heathrow for the first time, following the introduction of GCAP in March of last year. Fraser's efforts in this area have ensured the prompt delivery of training to members whilst ensuring that we do not distil the high quality that we seek to maintain at our only Tier 1 airport. Fraser has also worked closely with our Events and Operations teams, ensuring that we appropriately roster our controllers during events and providing input to changing procedures over time.

Fraser's contribution has been notable and he will be sorely missed in this post. I am pleased, however, to confirm that Fraser will continue in post as Division Instructor for the forseeable.

Fraser - thank you for your efforts over the past couple of years and please don't be a stranger!

All the best,
Adam
