This was a good starting point for me: https://www.amazon.com/Say-Again-Please-Guide-Communications/dp/1619547740/

Speaking of scan does anyone else remember when the ex ZLA (Pete ~~Trueno?~~ Trono) guy tried to sell his scanning workshop to the Agency and they bit on it and made trainees in the early 2010s take a stupid 4hr course? Might have just been the LA district...

Found it on Amazon, it might work for you, might not.

u/updog17 If you're feeling like $17 is a low enough risk to maybe learn something have at it.

The BC75 may have been replaced by this one:

I had the 75 (lost it!) and the 125 is a nice step up. I can hear the local airport, but the controllers only occasionally. (Line of sight with the transmitters is hard at ground level!) The BC125/BC75 have a simple (very simple!) app to set up the frequencies you want to program in each band. There is a web site called Radio Reference with all sorts of info about various scanners and frequencies, etc.

Thats what I thought lol. but heres a Mission district loft in the heart of SF that goes for 265. If he took home 200 a night (no clue what abnb takes) thats only 150 nights a year.

Hi there, I'm one of the NATS trainees awaiting a return to training. I'll do my best to answer your questions.

1) NATS isn't your only option for ATC but it is your only option for Enroute ATC (the high level stuff, not working in a tower but working in a big building using radar). If you want to do tower or approach you have a couple of options. Firstly, the military is always an option, there are other ATC companies like ANS or HIAL that provide ATC services at different airports, or you can pay to put yourself through the rating and then go and work at an airport that hires controllers individually, like Liverpool.

I don't know when NATS will be opening up recruitment but it should be relatively soon. Obviously that sort of thing is above my pay grade. Suffice it to say recruitment will be re-opening at some point.

1. A lot of ATC skills are "you have them or you don't" skills. Particularly with radar work, being able to convert a 2D picture on screen into a 3D image in your head isn't really something that's easy to practice. I'd say working on your memory and your multitasking any way that you can would probably be beneficial. It'd also be wise to pick up a copy of the ATC handbook, that was my bible before I went in and does an excellent job covering airspace classification and such. If you want to be a REAL nerd, CAA documents CAP413, CAP493 and CAP774 are the technical documents.

2. I can only speak for NATS training here but the training assumes no prior knowledge, so while getting a head start can be an advantage, don't worry about knowing what to know beforehand. There are hobbyist networks like VATSIM that you could maybe look into to get some experience, but be careful about picking up habits before going in.

Best of luck if and when you do decide to apply! If you want to chat further, feel free to drop me a message.

Hate to change the subject, but would anyone know why the need for a passport book in this opening?

I'll also hopefully be starting with NATS around then (pending the medical and security checks).

I've seen this book around which looks like it could be useful, or at least interesting. Can anyone say anything about this book?

I have

www.amazon.com/dp/B00I9DLB08/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Bn6Xub04VYNMH

at home (no link because mobile). The response is significantly firmer than the ANK we use in the tower. My friend has a mechanical keyboard one srep below this, but is still firmer than the ANK. I'd go two steps down from the board i linked.

Hope this helps.

Expensive, but it may provide the general overview you're looking for

And yeah, you'll want to know the 7110.65 inside and out. You can get that for free as a download.
