General
The ATC academy manages the education of VACC-Austria's permanent and visiting controllers. The main purpose consists of the training of new controllers, quality control of our active controllers, arrange CPT's and over the shoulder sessions. The current ATC academy management, can be found on our homepage.
Becoming a Controller is different from becoming a pilot at VATSIM. As pilot, you log on and fly - you might want to study documents or do a pilot training, but you don't need to. Becoming a Controller is different:
- You learn, you pass tests, you earn degrees that allow you to staff certain stations step by step.
