To all commercial pilots who use London Airspace.
It is that time of year when Swanwick controllers undergo their annual training in handling emergencies and unusual circumstances.
What we need is for aircrew to come along and join these sessions and observe 'your' problems from the ATC side and to join in the discussions and de-briefs to widen our understanding of aircraft emergencies.
The sessions run from November until March and are either afternoon or morning, we will also include a visit to the ops room and probably a chance to sit in on a live sector.
If you are interested please e-mail your brief details to :-

and we will send you available dates. A free lunch and a mileage allowance is available to those who attend.
