    This questionnaire with a built-in cheat code is a scandal, but it’s not the reason for the current increase in accidents - to even take the questionnaire, you already had to pass the 200 hour training and get a high result in the relevant 8h skill test.

    The main reason is the permanent understaffing in control towers.

      Thanks for the info. Glad there is a lot of training thats required for the role. An 8hr test is pretty brutal.

      Being an air traffic controller is one of the most stressful jobs you can have. Hell, I wouldn’t be able to cope doing it.
