Since I've started to find that people are actually reading this blog, I figured I should probably update every once in a while.
I've been training on approach control for about six months now. It's been an interesting rollercoaster of ups and downs, but I feel I've been progressing well. I'm nearing the end of my training now. It's at the point where I will be qualified soon, or they will stop my training to give someone else a shot. I don't think that will happen, but it's a possibility.
I just want to make a quick comment about my training yesterday: Wow. It was probably the busiest I've seen it here in a long time. Lots of military aircraft in a limited amount of airspace. I was doing well for a while, but eventually I was saturated and unable to keep up. My instructor took over and straighted everything out. The good news: with a little more practice, this is something I will be able to handle with confidence. Looking forward to plugging in by myself in the near future.
