What area do you want work experience in? ATC, Ops, Handling etc etc?

[fhajebah]

i'm interested in becoming a pilot but would'nt mind seeing how the atc works

Your best bet is to post your request in the ATC Issues forum.....chances are you'll get a response from someone who actually works there.
Failing that get in touch with NATS in London (details on their website) or contact Gatwick directly.
I dont know whether they'll take you for work experience but you should be able to get a day visit at least!
Put a request on the ATC Issues forum and you should get the info you need! Good Luck:ok:

nb - this was in the questions forum originally!

Well that makes us feel kind of second-rate in ATC Land. Hope you do well as a pilot. if you don't make it you can always give us a try!

[fhajebah]

sorry if I was rude but I've always wanted to become a pilot but I have wanted to know how the atc land works :cool:

We shouldn't discourage wannabe pilots from visiting ATC.
Just think when fhajebah is sat in his flying smartie tube, he/she will feel all warm and fuzzy about those bods talking to him from the ground.
He/she will also know that, not one of us has orange tennis bats:\

Must speak to FRANK now
