At Long Last

Posted 10-16-2012 at 02:17 PM by meatasaurusx (My Journey to C90)

Finally after almost 4 years in the FAA, I am a CPC at DuPage Airport in West Chicago. It was by no means an easy road- there were many ups and downs along the way- but I have learned so much along the way and I have much more to learn. It feels great to not be in training any more, as well as a little surreal still. I know that I worked hard to get here, but I also have many people to thank for my success. Everyone at DPA who helped in my training, everyone I worked with at C90 because I learned...

When one door closes...

So I guess it is always better late than never, but training at C90 ended for me in September of 2011. I felt that I was getting close to certifying on North Sat at times, but then there were times where I was struggling to keep up. It wasn't anyones fault, I simply had nothing to fall back on when traffic got complex or something out of the ordinary happened (which was more often than not).

Training Update PT.2

Training on North Satellite

I started the classroom and lab for North Satellite (north sat.) in the middle of August. Training on north sat., despite the max hours being lower, can take longer than departures simply because the traffic isn't always consistent, and certain days have busy periods of traffic while others are very slow. It is certainly not the same as knowing that there are departure rushes at certain times of the day and they are consistent. Also, instead of having...

Training update PT.1

Posted 04-07-2011 at 08:10 AM by meatasaurusx (My Journey to C90)

It has been a while since my last update and a lot has happened. I have learned a lot more working on my own than I could have with a trainer. I also moved days off for the summer so I got to know and work with a different group of people. I also started my next phase of training which is both fun and exciting.

Working On My Own

Two days after certifying on departures, my wife and I went on vacation. It was a great way to celebrate, but it wasn't so much by design....
