WANTED - Commercial Pilots to attend Emergency Training for Air Traffic Controllers

ATCOs at London Control Centre (Area & Terminal Control) Swanwick, are required to undertake emergency training each year to maintain their licences. This training is split between ABES (ABnormal & Emergency Situations, formerly TRUCE) & STAC (Scenario Training for Aircrew & Controllers).

ABES occurs in the afternoon & involves both classroom & practical simulator sessions; theses sessions are greatly enhanced by the presence of a Commercial Pilot. There will be an opportunity to visit the Ops room at Swanwick prior to the session.

STAC is a facilitated classroom session for Pilots & ATCOs. It is solely classroom based & uses some radar replays to enhance discussions. Discussions include how emergencies effect operations on the flight deck & in the Control Room. A greater understanding of each others requirements in these circumstances can lead to better handling of these events. The day usually concludes with Pilots visiting the Ops rooms.

We are able to offer sensible travel expenses and lunch will normally be provided.

Below are the dates of the ABES and STAC (in large bold red) sessions where we have availability for Pilots to attend;

I went, enjoyed it, and left impressed.

parkfell: I had asked about Prestwick but the NATS team on the day was not sure if there would be such event. Why not combine it with a nice trip to Portsmouth naval history sites? :ok:

Much recommended!
