yo yo...havnt posted in a few days so i'll update what ive been doing....still doing classroom stuff until next friday...memorizing a lot of stuff for tests...every airport, navaid, airway(highways in the sky..there's lots...go to skyvector.com if u wanna see)...then our class will break up into the individual areas we're all working so the stuff we learn from their out will be specific to our areas...the areas at our facility are
Los angeles departures
Los angeles arrivals(where i'm assigned)
Burbank area
Coast area
San Diego area
Empire area
from what a lot of controllers and people have been telling me my area is the best and has the quickest checkout time...where other areas have to deal with small little private planes, air carriers, business jets, student pilots..arrivals, departures, helicopters my area pretty much only does air carriers, because we're only doing planes going into LAX...
in 2 weeks i start flight data class, then start on the floor working flight data for real the next week...basically there are strips of information for every flight, has all the info about the route its going, altitidue, etc....flight data organizes these strips, updates weather information eveyr hour and may create flight plans for people taht call requesting them
whats good is my sector never has to create flight plans, so we're pretty muych only going to give the strips that come in to the controllers at the scopes and update weather
here's a screen shot of flight publication , basically has all the info a pilot or controller will need about an area
