Visit to Manchester Airport ATC (Merged)
Hey everyone
I have booked a visit at Manchester and was wondering whether anyone can tell me what I need to know, what I need to do and whether I would be tested or anything? Don't want to make a fool of myself.
Also, is Air Traffic Control by Graham Duke the most suitable book to read before an interview?
Many thanks

As it's a "visit", just look,listen, ask questions and "absorb".....
We do not bite..well,not often
Look at the AIP [www.ais.org.co.uk] for Manchester. Try a "search" for Manchester on the various engines. Search Pprune ATC and other threads
When you do come for a visit, enjoy yourselves...you are there to learn not be tested..........yet
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy

Visit to Manchester Airport ATC
Hi all
I’ve got the through to the final interview for the NATS trainee program, at the first stage the ATCO suggested any person getting through to this stage visit their local ATC unit for a afternoon to get a feel for the job.
I’ve been in contact with HR at NATS twice but they seem to be dragging their heels and my interview date is fast approaching
Question:
Are their any Manchester controllers or anyone who knows someone who can give me a contact at Manchester Airport to try and organise a trip directly.
Cheers

PS: Anyone have information about how many get through the interview stage and actually get one of those sacred jobs in ATC.
PPS: This is my first post so be gentle.
