Just my observations, usually someone aspiring to become an ATCO asks more about the job itself than the bull!!!! you are fishing for.
oops
Am saving my "proper" interest questions until (IF) i pass stage 1- it sounds like a bit of a trial (although not that i expect any of the following 4 years to be any easier of course), so with the best will in the world, there's no point getting too excited until i know i "might" have some chance of actually getting anywhere. After today i'm really not sure about that!
At least on the internet if i post stuff that no one likes, people can ignore me- better than wasting an ATCOs time in the real world i reckon!
This thread was only supposed to be lighthearted- nothing horrifically serious- i think 3 days of cramming and testing have led to a lack of accurate articulation of my feelings- and certainly not enough use of smilies!
For once, a serious question:
Then get an aerodrome licence. Then validate it.
Then get an approach licence. Then valiate it.
Then get an area licence. Then validate it.
Then get an oceanic licence. Then validate it.
is this possible to get fully validated in all areas? is it of any benefit? i was under the impression that if you were aerodrome validated you could possibly vaildate to Approach, but NOT area?
