On the NATS website, on the application form for trainee ATCOs, in the first section, titled 'Personal Details' one of the questions asks:
Are you over 18 years old?
And this is one of the questions in light blue font, obviously meaning an answer is reuqired.
However, I will apply when I'm 18 (in just over a month) still completing my application and am unsure at what this question means as the minimum age says 18 on the requirements PDF.
I understand that a trainee has to be 20 to hold a radar license/rating but can someone shed light as to why this question is asked - is it because any 18 year olds applying are put into a slower process because of what I just mentioned about the radar age?
Thanks
