Bullseye Check
Sorry mate - but the only similarity between your job and ours is you look at a radar tube - plain and simple.
You will never have worked in a tower, you will never have worked joint IFR and VFR traffic in a terminal environment. You will never have used headings to acheive separation if you were working an airways sector, funnelling traffic down the airway instead of having a big open patch of sky to play in. You will never have controlled traffic when your radar goes down and reverted to procedural techniques. Your phraseology is totally different.
Shall I go on? (And I spent 18 months working next to you guys in the days of Saxa Vord / Shetland Radar - so I know what I'm talking about
)
So - you think it's unfair that you have to go through the full selection? Best you think again
