EVERYTHING is from memory. Prior to training you are given a map test... basically a trainee is given a chart and about 2 weeks to study it. Then you are given a piece of blank paper and have to create the entire map from memory, you're allowed only a few mistakes. Fail the test and go home... |
Wow! That's a lot to memorize!
On a Chicago TRACON tour they showed us a screen that displayed approaches on a screen above the scope - is that unique to Chicago or something?
