TRACON
in the Classroom
|
TRACON
has been an eye-opener for all our aviation students.
The insight about ATC was right on the money. We now make it
a requirement that all incoming aviation majors not only read
TRACON, but write
about it in our Intro to ATC course.

engineers, find TRACON
to be a valuable training tool for learning about air traffic control.
TRACON
includes authentic controller and pilot phraseology, ATC and cockpit
procedures, references to air safety issues and aviation accidents,
right down to real radio frequencies and airline flight numbers.
The scenarios described in the book help these audiences visualize
the challenges and issues that controllers face on the other end
of the radio.
For apprentice controllers, the novel
also provides insight the work environment and typical controller
personality profiles.
