Well it's about time I threw in my threepenneth for what it's worth. for the tech interview brush up on your time distance maths, you will be asked one. look out for the odd trick question, it's only a trick if you didn't LISTEN properly. They aren't trying to fail you they just want to see what you've got. The best source of information I found was the Ian Allen ATC book, if it isn't in there you don't need to know it. Forget about aircraft recognition, they want to make you a controller not recruit ready made ones. The spotters have an early advantage at the college but they soon have to buckle down with the rest of us ! Worry about that **** at the end of aerodrome 2 when you get in !!!!! The personnel interview is just plain wierd and if you are going to lie then you'll need a good memory as you get the same questions over and over but in a slightly different way. The computer tests..........
well just do what you can, I don't know anybody who thinks they passed them (actually only one but he's a lying tosser !) but they all did. It was one of the most daunting days of my life all of thirteen months ago but I promise you that if ATC is really what you want to do then you wont be disappointed. I can't believe they pay me all this money to play aeroplanes ! Good luck the lot of you and see you at CATC soon. If you want to hear any more drivel then mail me, I can go on for hours. 114 RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
