NATS - Pre Bournemouth College Preparation
Hi I'm expecting to start at college down in Bournemouth in April 09, and to maximise my chances of success there are a few things I've considered doing beforehand;
1. Where is it possible to get hold of a copy of MATS part 1? From what I understand this is pretty much an ATCO's bible.
2. Is it worth messing around on VATSIM to familiarise yourself with radiotelephony/systems or would the informality and bad habits etc have a detrimental effect?
Also is anyone aware of the most common reasons for failure?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I hope these questions haven't already been answered!
