Abbreviations should be correct now, thanks
I guess the problem is that even if a person performs good in the training and even validates without any trouble. Is there really any gaurantee they wouldn't break if one day disaster strikes? I'm not sure if there is anyway to know, does anyone know how this is dealt with by the instructors?
I really hope I get the chance to take you up on that advice, I've been very fortunate and had the opportunity to try a session in a real tower simulator with an ATCO, I've also been to my local airport and had a chance to see how they work. It's been a great experience and if I'm really lucky and work for it, I hope I'll one day be able to join them as a traine, and more even more important, validated, ATCO.
