Today we started separations. The different types of separations are lateral, vertical, longitudinal, radar, runway, and visual. Nothing too hard. Here come the numbers, lots of numbers. Quiz at the end and break.
After that we started and finished NOTAM's. NOTAMs are Notices to Airmen. Basically they are ways of informing people about things such as runway closures or changes to navigation aids, etc... Not too hard of a concept, just lots of information about all the different kinds of NOTAM's and where it originates. Quiz on it, piece of cake. We had dinner during the middle of this one, so most of the first part of the lesson slipped my mind, but it was really only an eight page lesson so not too hard, or long, just info info info.
Next we finished it off with Radar. Fun stuff, starting to learn what I'm here for and it is exciting. We went over the different types of radar and some fundamental components of a radar system. I know that it sounds pretty high tech, but I just know what the components are, I could even begin to tell you how it really works. That's a good job for all of the technicians.
It was a fun and interesting day because we actually started stuff that is getting very interesting!
