TRaining for Unusual Circumstances and Emergencies
For information about Swanwick TRUCE please PM me.
Commercial pilots are warmly welcomed to attend. The new season commences in September.
TRUCE sessions take place in the afternoon and are a licence requirement for all UK ATCOs. For Swanwick controllers there will be both classroom discussions and time in the simulator which is located at our corporate headquarters in Whiteley, Hampshire.
Over past years we have hosted many commercial pilots and all that I am aware of have commented how useful their attendance has been. For our ATCOs, they get to hear how commercial pilots deal with emergency situations first hand and pilots can gain a better understanding what we do should they call PAN or MAYDAY. Expect to take part within the classroom discussions and the simulator exercises. We are also normally able to arrange an Operations Room visit before TRUCE commences
We are able pay sensible expenses for those travelling from the London area
I cannot over emphasise how useful having commercial pilots attend is for the participants!
If you think you might have a spare day, please personal message me so that I can send you more details.
Mr TRUCE
