Hi Rage....glad to hear from you young man....There is a programme called Familiarisation Flights(better known as FAM Flights among Controllers) for ATClers all over the world. These are actuially "study" trips whereby ATClers sit in the cockpit and observe cockpit crew workload and are to monitor ATC conversations. The goal is to get the ATCler to see for himself/herself what exactly transpires in a particular flt. The ATCler is supposed to ask some questions and so forth. The main idea is to see the 'busyness' the crew go thru particularly during landings so that we may not ask you silly questions like acft registration while u r trying your best to avoid the dog on the rwy. The other reason is also to hear for themselves how fast we tend to talk compared to SIN and BKK Controllers. Also if may add, let the ATCler hear for himself how 'smooth,clear and crisp'' our ATC transmissions are at the moment. Other than that, they r supposed to visit the tower or ATCC in the particular destination to see how 'advanced' we r. Welcome us please with open arms. Some of them may tend to talk too much while others may come in with super glue in their mouths...help them out mate. Make their trips a truly educational one....don't 4get the satay and the guava juice...my favourite.Ciao my brother
