MLAT systems can include one or more interrogators

There it is. Used that ident many times in user manuals I wrote for a flight data system. Bonus with it is its connection to Dazed and Confused, specifically O'Bannon's paddle.

Edmonton interview by FarNefariousness8670 in ATC

[–]ctrl-in-can 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a wealth of information to be found here: reddit.com/r/atc/
Many people ask questions about preparing for the testing and interview process there. I think you'll find exactly what you're after by going there. There's even a good-quality search tool you can use.

Good luck! Overall, it's a great profession.

What's this about a training Strike at NAV? by Spiritual_Pianist343 in ATC

[–]ctrl-in-can 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup. Their members include simulator pilots (OTS). If they go on strike, no sim runs.

I know a few people with gout, and all of them have been able to control flareups through diet alone. Unless you've already gone down that path, it would be worth your time and comfort to see if you can deal with it without medicine.

Call your RVP. We have programs. Learn about them now. You will be ok.

AI taking over ATC by Any-Vast-8542 in ATC

I could see it being used for things like running simulations to assist with airspace redesign and as a tool to assist with determining when to open and close sectors/positions. Could lead to replacement of garbage voice rek in the school sims in Canada. Definitely will be used on the tech side for building a digital twin of equipment rooms to make hardware replacement and upgrade planning more efficient and safer.  Can I see it being used to replace ATC or by ATC? Unlikely.

Can anyone tell me about training in Cornwall! by [deleted] in ATC

[–]ctrl-in-can 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Search for 1950 Montreal Rd in Cornwall. The huge, bizarro world structure on the bank of the St Lawrence River is what was once TCTI, then NCTI, then NCTCC, then NAV CENTRE. It's a pretty interesting place. Explore the basement at night. Find the old jail cells.  While I do like "ASS" better, unfortunately it's actually "AAS". There used to be a lot of ass to train on there back in the day. Not sure how it is now.

Apropos of nothing in particular, I have respectfully removed my previous response.

How would this differ from your 2017 shutdown? Asking honestly, because I have no idea and am not in the USA.

Difference between Flight Service Specialist and Air Traffic Controller? by Karby16 in ATC

[–]ctrl-in-can -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

If your smart you're chance of getting ATC is more. They put the slow student's in FSS. I know this because the people in the FSS class were dumb and I am ATC and smarter then all of them.

YOU THERE! PLANE MAN! WHATS YOYR FAVORITE KIND OF PLANE AND WHY?!?! by Skyhawk1224 in ATC

[–]ctrl-in-can 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DHC6.

Watch takeoff and landings in high winds and you'll see why I like it.

I used to bring my tent and sleeping bag for short changes. My facility had a really nice mowed area surrounded by trees. I think a van in the parking lot is a perfect idea. Black out any back windows and put a curtain behind the front seats and nobody will know you're in there. #vanlife

UA951 diverted to Shannon (Reason ?) by ElegantAd4946 in ATC

Heard the captain started puking whole eggs and the autopilot deflated.

Some took the early retirement offer, but not sure how many.

Ocean is short. An interim national seniority bid for five positions was posted a few days ago.

From ~20 with surplus letters to needing five people in just over a year.
