Our Jan Ab-Initio group won't find out for a while, probably closer to the end of the course.
We are coming to the end of our block of blippying for all the Conversion courses going through - mostly GAAP, some Radar and now some Procedural. They have obviously been a priority as positions can be filled far faster with experienced controllers than with Ab-Initios.
Rather than blip for each other, we've been doing our allocated time in one big block, so as to maximise our time in the Sim futher on, as well as to help the conversion courses get through. It's been great for phraseology and situational awareness, as well as giving us a genuine feel for the job and what's expected of you.
While it's been fun, we're really looking forward to getting stuck into the training again. We start our Met Observers Course in a couple of weeks, followed by Basic Tower, Approach, Radar, Procedural and GAAP.
Once this is out of the way (big assumption, but here's hoping!) the instructors will have a better idea as to which style suits us best, and this in combination with AsA rquirements at the time will determine where we go.
