NATS - ATCO and the PPL
I am sorry if this has been covered before (I am sure it has) but can somebody enlighten me when the PPL was an integrated part of the ATCO training, and why it was removed? I am sure it used to be mandatory or am I wrong here?
I would have thought the PPL would have been a really useful knowledge base to have in so many ways, and also allow the ATCO to continue to pursue interests in that direction if he/she wished and this could only be beneficial to everybody concerned.
Many thanks.
