the down-low on ATC

[hero4hire]

so if you take all the ground school stuff you need for power, take out most of the theory of flight, double the Met., double the air law, and triple the radio comm., youve got what i need to learn, and know very intimately, in the next 3 weeks. this course is going to be one nasty mofo to pass, let alone do well in, as im not paticularily good at

Hehe,

A/c Ident
Unit ident
Runway
Wind
Altimeter
Clearance
Reporting point
Radar identification (if required)
Other info (traffic, special instructions)

That's pretty much what I remember from NCTI.

good enough
were at loyalist college, along with the rest of the central region gliding school
apparently this course is nothing near as difficult as the civilian course, but its still going to be hell for the academic part.

I'm on summer cruise mode so you can have my brain before it rots away, if you like. Other than that, perk up. It'll soon become less obscure and besides, camp is supposed to be fun so let it be so. *hugs*

ive come to a decision.
week 3 we have our test of death, dont get 80% and go home thing, so after that, the course is going to be wickid

[chibisaturnia]

see, thats how it is. On power its study like a madman until the MOT, relax for maybe 2 days and then realise oh shit! Flight test is next and its even more important than the MOT!
Luckly, you don't have to do that :)

[hero4hire]

no, we have an LKE that requires an 80% or go home
week 6, we have a practical in a simulator, fail that, and fail the course
