Over the shoulder

General

In order to pass your OTS, you need to prove your familiarity with the procedures at Vienna airport, and that you can handle high traffic operations safely. Your mentor and two checkers will monitor your activities and judge upon your skills. If too heavy traffic persists, the examiner may open lower stations. Exams will be taken at our weekly wednesday or special events.
