Research query....
I'm sorry to sound naive, but am doing my research ready to apply to NATS.
My father is a RAF Controller and he holds tickets for all positions in the Tower, approach, tower and ground (also talkdown, zone but not director as he is only an SNCO). I assumed all tower / aerodrome roles were the same.
I knew that London airport's approach was done at LATCC but is it the same with all NATS airports? Is approach completely separate to Tower / Ground?
I appreciate that upon sucesful entry to the college, you get little or no choice on area or aerodrome but I assumed that were I selected for aerodrome that I would be able to validate in tower and approach.
Sorry to sound totally ignorant.
