ATC Tours

MHK77

I agree that a tour of the ATC would serve heighten the awareness. However it is so ridiculously difficult to get the permission required from both sides plus all the ID copies, NOC's, emails and stamps of approvals etc. I tried to tour OMDW once a few years ago and gave up because of the sheer stupidity and complication of the process.

Perhaps TCAS could spearhead a program whereby pilots could be taken on a tour of ATC on their ground school days instead of wasting everyones time with what amounts to be useless drivel and blatant lies at the wash-ups...mind you then he wouldn't have time to issue such well thought out emails.
