Afternoon all!

I am going to be starting my ATCO training with NATS @ Hurn round about Oct. next year and got to thinking:

"What can I do to get myself a bit of a head start on all that reading in the first few months.....?"

Does anyone have / know where I can get my hands on, any relevant literature that will help towards this?

Obviously, times they are a changing (in the words of the song!) and alot of regs etc.. may be obsolete by the time I start but anything that I can get re. the basics as it were would be much appreciated.

Any ideas??

They teach you everything from scratch, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're really keen, get your hands on a MATS part one, you can have mine but its a bit dusty.

Otherwise Rough Guide To Bournemouth will make you more popular with your new friends.

Do not trust that bloke with a BMW M3, he makes out he can instruct, he would be better suited to morris dancing me thinks! Only joking of course.
