Re: Percent that pass
Well, depends if we include the classroom numbers. I'd say the % that pass classroom, training, over 90% checkout once in the field. But yeah 70-80% make it pass the classroom training, in my experience.thatdaveguy wrote:Your FSS numbers are awfully high... it was around 70-80% in my experience.

Re: Percent that pass
These are by no means, hard numbers, but just what I've heard over the years.
I'd say around 60-70% of VFR Controllers check out, and the check out rate for IFR Controllers is around 20-30%. FSS is around 95%.

Re: Previous ATC schooling any benefit?
Why are you so concerned about hiding your past of being CT'd? Nav won't care. Just be honest, and use good examples from your training in your interview. I know plenty of people who were CT'd in IFR stream and years later made it in FSS or VFR. Just be honest.

Re: FSS staffing levels
I think it's pretty safe to say the staffing is right where they want it right now. I was FSS, failed to cross train successfully into ATC, and was let go in December. They told me there were no immediate positions available in FSS at the moment, but that might change in the future. So based on that...

Re: Military ATC training with NavCanada
Beside's the black hole you sit in while waiting to hear back during the application process, Navcanada training is top notch in my opinion. I've been through FSS and VFR Basic.cyeg66 wrote:Thank goodness for that.natej wrote:Military runs the training, not NavCanada.

Re: Military ATC training with NavCanada
Military runs the training, not NavCanada. It's just in NavCan's building. The accomodations are nice, it's like a hotel. The food isn't bad either, but gets old fast.

When and where are you writing it? I wrote it a year ago, so the details might be a little fuzzy.... It's about 4-5 hours to write, a series of 10-15 short timed tests. They focus on different areas, spatial reasoning, logic, reading comprehension, math, listening skills, general knowledge, so basic...

Re: VFR Minima in a Control Zone
No one here has really convinced me I am wrong yet...I understand it is the responsibility of the pilot to remain 500 AGL and 500 ft vertically from cloud. But he could do this if the ceiling was below 1000 ft... Here's a scenario. Ceiling 008BKN. If a pilot wants to depart VFR, why can't he? What i...

VFR Minima in a Control Zone
So I was having a friendly debate/discussion with some fellow classmates/controllers the other day, and the topic of VFR minima came up, My argument was, that if the visibility was 3 miles, and the ceiling was 900 feet, a plane requesting to depart VFR could do so, and did not require SVFR authoriza...

Re: Is a class action suit warranted against Nav-Canada?
Do you know why NavCanada has less then 1 loss of separation for every 100,000 IFR movements? Probably has something to do with the fact they only hire the best, and those who can cut it. You think they enjoy investing in people for 6-12 months and then having to CT them when they can't handle the p...

Grimey,
I have one friend who is in the middle of IFR ATC Training in Toronto, it's going well for him, he went through LOS. I start VFR training in YEG in a month, I'll let you know, I'm also going through LOS.
