How long to validate ???
Hi guys and gals, I was wondering how long it takes to fully validate a controller (well, I know of my case, but I'd like to know for others around the world...).
Could you guys post how long it took you to validate along with the speciality (enroute, TCU (approach) or TWR and the city or the geographical area (to have an idea of the volume and complexity of traffic)
I know ASA is starting courses with experienced controllers, how long do you expect from day 1 in the academy up to full validation?
And if you're still in touch with your first classmate, how many of you are still in the business?
