ATCO4, 4RS and ATCO3 Evaluations - Thursday 13th January

Hello,

I know a number of ATC students are currently seeking evaluation for the ATCO Ratings-> Most of who have been studying privately and not being mentored.

Thursday (13th) will provide these students the opportunity for evaluation and will take place at Birmingham Intl from 1930z.
If you have a particular time that you wish to control at then please post below otherwise you'll probably end up in a queue!!

For students who are unable to attend please post below.

If there are any quick questions that you need answering before your evaluation- (perhaps just one thing is bugging you!) then I will do my best to answer (Post below or email christianrsmith@live.co.uk or speak to any ATCO Controller on t/s)

Those students who are required to reassess and who are not able to attend Saturday sessions will be offered a fixed weekly time for Monday evenings for one-to-one or two mentoring with myself or directed to a ATCO Controller able to mentor over the week.

May I draw your attention to the ATC section of the site providing information on the evaluation, and of course, CAP413.

Regards,

Christian

Hello Christian, is it possible for me to rank up to ATCO 4. I do think I have the knowledge for a ATCO 4. Or atleast rank up to AS?

ATCO 4:

Familiarised with Flightstrips
Record complete ATIS
Gives competant Pushback and Taxi Instructions (Approved - Runway - Hold - Via)

The final available session is at 10pm, should you be unable to make this, please watch the forum and I will try and arrange a similar evening in a couple of weeks time.
Alternatively, email me and we'll try and arrange something. It should be noted that we need traffic in order to assess people, and this isn't always practical unless its an arranged evaulation night.
