LOOP News 17 MAR 08: VISIT ATC MONTHWell, during May 2008 over 20 UK Air Traffic Control Units will be taking part in the first national 'Visit ATC' event. The Ministry of Defence (MoD), NATS and independent air traffic units throughout the country are participating in the scheme. The aim is to increase the knowledge of both pilots and controllers of each others' skills and limitations. All the visits require prior registration and are open only to holders of pilot licences (NPPL, PPL, BGA certificate etc). Those attending will be required to show their licence. If you have not pre-registered or cannot produce your pilot licence unfortunately you will not be admitted on the day. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. All the events are free of charge. Among the units opening their doors in May are London City, Cambridge, RAF Leeming, Edinburgh, Blackpool and RAF Waddington. A full list of the NATS, non-NATS and military units taking part, the times and dates when each unit is open for a visit, and contact details for pre-registration are available on the ASI website: www.airspacesafety.com NOTE The event is part of the UK's ongoing Airspace and Safety Initiative (ASI), a joint CAA, NATS, Airport Operator's Association, General Aviation and Ministry of Defence effort to investigate and tackle the major safety risks in UK airspace. It emerged from a top-level discussion between the CAA Chairman, NATS Chief Executive and MoD Assistant Chief of the Air Staff following a number of incidents where light aircraft infringed controlled airspace, or military and commercial flights conflicted outside controlled airspace.
