Major airfields have a double letter at the end of their designator.
EGLL - Heathrow
EGKK - Gatwick
EGCC - Manchester
EGFF - Cardiff
and so on.
That's about the only thing I've noticed. There are geographical groupings, but they're loosely based. Newcastle - NT, Humberside - NJ and NV that I can never remember. But then Leeds is NM and if my geography serves me correctly and it does tend to get hazy north of Watford it's West from that lot

aewaite17,
I've just had so much fun playing some games on the NATS careers website
They are new to me - I've never come across them before, so wonder if they are new to everyone?!
The games relate to some of the computer tests you'll have to do at your stage 2 - so it's well worth having a look. NATS Games
Also, read through this thread - quite a few people give their experience of the computer tests.

ICAO codes can make very little sense... esp here in UK. I find that if you try a little mnemonic for the less obvious ones they tend to stick. Some of the ones i have/had make absolutely no sense but it works... EGHD - High Definition - Plymouth. Don't ask how... 
Practice for the stage 2 computer tests... a good nights sleep? you either have good reactions and spatial awareness or you don't really.
Best of luck though

Reapplying
Hey guys,
Just a quickie about reapplying as a Trainee ATCO. I've just logged into my old account from last year in the Recruitment bit but can't see a link to "Reapply", do I have to register anew again and create a fresh account? Or can I use the existing one?
Thanks!
Vic

Hi All,
Have just completed the wonderful SHL online personality test, somehow feel like I have been phsycoanalysed to death.....NATS probably know more about me than I do
Anyone else just done the test at the moment?
