Are PPL's still welcome?
Hi all,
I hope you don't mind a question from one of the little guys who get in the way and sometimes struggle with RT!
I have had my PPL for 2 years now and as part of my "continuous PPL development" have been meaning to try to visit ATC (probably MAN) for some time now but have never got round to it!
Following the September 11th events, will this still be possible/advisable due to security etc? If it is OK, how should I go about arranging it?
Many thanks for your help.

I'm quite sure there should be no problem with you visiting.
Try calling ATC Operations at Manch (the number eludes me sorry) and asking there. The chaps who work there are jolly nice fellows and should be able to sort you out with something - providing we have the staff ofcourse which is usually the only reason we say no.
If that don't work drop me a line and I'll see what I can do when I return from AL

Just to follow this up with fact.
All visits to MACC, and I suspect most other units across the country, have been "suspended" given the security situation at the moment.
This is apart from flight crew and, possibly, PPL's but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Anyone else, I've been told, is strictly not permitted. Which is understandable I guess.
Sorry all you potential students and interested parties.
