When is YYZ ACC the busiest?

Post by whatisttv »

I've had a couple of tours at YYZ ACC so far. Once during selections and once afterwards where I got to sit with a controller for a few hours. However, during this time there wasn't a lot of traffic and I was invited to come back when traffic gets busier and crazier during the summer with thunderstorms.

When does it get busy? and which month specifically should I go to see the craziest traffic? and what can I do to maximize the sit-in with the controller? (ask questions, yes but what kind of questions?).

Thanks!

Volume picks up in June. June to September would be Thunderstorm season, but you're not going to know ahead of time when the convective activity starts. I wouldn't worry about seeing busy traffic, you'll have plenty of opportunities once you start training.

Also the "craziest traffic" is probably not what you want, the controller won't be able to answer any questions, or do a narration of what they are doing.

Ok, June-Sept. Thanks!

Do you know the questions I should be asking?

I wrote a snarky response about asking why YYZ is so YYZ compared to the rest of N.A. But "who cares" because the responses are always 'it is what it is' and YYZ isn't bad kind of deal.
