Hi there,
unless it has changed since I went through, you may be speaking about "Stage 1".
At this stage there is an information pack designed to test your "ATC Motivation" on the day. This contains basic info about ATC and then at the back has some stats of aircraft. Are we speaking about the same document?
If so, you will be tested multiple choice at the Stage 1 day, and a rough understanding of the "sorts" of cruise speeds etc will more than suffice. From memory the options are rather absurd.
How fast does a B747 cruise?
a) 0.3 kts
b) 30 kts
c) 300 kts
d) 900,000,000,000,000 kts
(perhaps not quite that absurd, but you take my point that there is one obvious answer)
Hope that helps,
Phil
