Airline Pilot Information Night, Melbourne ATSC Thurs 6 May

[Phil Vabre]

All airline pilots are invited to register for the inaugural Airline Pilot Information Night at Melbourne Air Traffic Services Centre on Thursday 6 May.

A chance to ask all those ATC questions you've been sitting on for ages!

Beware of infiltrating NAStronauts, identified by a large E on their forehead. :}

Great idea :D

When's the Brisbane one? Or should I PM rotorblades for a private one? :)

In Brisbane we hold information sessions on a reasonably regular basis. A certain watering hole ( Meal Water....) is generally used. :rolleyes:

Thanks Owen, sounds like experience talking there...:E

Sorry for the delay responding folks, but I have been away...

We are trying to keep our Pilot Nights operationally focused, with presentations and information on operational issues of mutual interest. For example, at the Airline Pilot Night we will have a short presentation on how ATC does sequencing, which is an item of perennial interest to most professional pilots.

Owen, I will be faciltating the event - I still like to think of myself as a controller! :} Hopefully we will also have a current Melbourne TCU controller to answer specific questions. The objective is to provide a forum for mutual learning.

The Melbourne Airline Pilot Night is a trial to see if the concept is worthwhile. If it is, then we will probably expand it to other locations as we have with our regular GA-oriented Pilot Nights.

Still a few places left...

Thanks Owen, I'll make some enquiries up here.
