I know that on my course there was a trip to tc organised for those that wanted to go and have a look at tc. This was organised by an area insructor. And i believe they all had a good time. But is acs 2 a bit late to be organising such things.Not the instructors fault i know, but maybe someone on the aerodrome course could set up such a visit?? inbetween "aerodrome lighting and marking 8" and "aftn 14" lessons?? then they might see a different side to area control. Having spoken to courses behind me, they say that the swanwick visits have not got any better.And as such about 80% wanted to go apr/adc, as at that point in training the only knowledge they have (apart from ex assistants and the like) is the visits provided to them by catc.
