Major airfields have a double letter at the end of their designator.

EGLL - Heathrow
EGKK - Gatwick
EGCC - Manchester
EGFF - Cardiff :confused:
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 :8 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 :)

EGLK - Lorraine Kelly - Blackbushe ;)

Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone else has their stage 1 interviews in manchester on the 30th july?? x :)

The only way I can remember it too

EGNV - No Virgins - Durham Tees Valley. :}

EGPF- Poor F***ers - Glasgow.....

i think i brought up a subject that is only going to go in one direction from here... :E

EGBJ, a girl I met from GLOUCESTER who was very welcoming ( Ibiza when I was 17! LOL)

EGDL - Des Lynham, Lyneham
EGDG - Dude's gone surfing - St Mawgan
EGNR - Nice and rigid - Hawarden

Mr Red, maybe it was that girl's mother (an ATC Assistant) who told me how to remember EGBJ and EGHJ!

EGHR - Horseracing... Goodwood.
Tentacles, Could you explain post 1198? Does Lorraine Kelly actually live near Blackbushe?

A couple of football related ones-

Liverpool EGGP- Gerrard Plays,
Leeds EGNM- Nigel Martin,

Eh? Is that a wah?

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

Just re-register. Thats what I did the second time around.

Negative Birdie, I have checked in both Pooley's and the UK AIP. It is definitely BLACKBUSHE,--with an 'e'.

EGNT Northern Tossers: Newcastle
EGNH: Northern Holidays: Blackpool
EGLC: London City (dull)
