The training is provided separately, for each position according to your own schedule. It is up to you how much time you get to go!
Positions? What positions? It’s not only one person who serves all planes in the airport or in the country. The first level is the so-called Delivery Controller. Above the first level, Ground is the controller responsible for rolling the planes on the ground. Moving a step, we find controller the Tower, who deals with the airplanes on the ground and provides the take-off and landing permits to the planes
Next level, Approach, the near-area control, directs the appropriate high for taking off and landing planes, within a pre-defined area. The top level, called the Center, also known as the high-altitude controller, who controls planes at their altitudes throughout the country, whether it arrives, departs, or even flies through.
