Over the coming weeks we’ll have several exciting announcements coming up. Today we start with the first one.

Back in May of this year we announced the completion of the AS1+ course on our Moodle. We’ve seen a significant increase in controllers at EHAM. Last month the amount of hours logged on EHAM_DEL and EHAM_N_GND were the same, before the release of AS1+ EHAM_DEL was almost never online. Overall the amount of hours controlled in the FIR increased a lot too. Based on that success we’re releasing the AS2+ rating on our Moodle system today.

The AS2+ course focuses on the Ground Position at Schiphol. Covering Pushback, Ground Movement and a little bit of planning duties involved with being a controller on Ground. In order to gain access to the AS2+ course the AS1+ course must first be finished. Our system will then automatically enroll you for the AS2+ course. After completing the course and achieving the AS2 rating on IVAO, you will be derestricted for EHAM_N_GND.

We’ve not received much negative feedback to our AS1+ course or our plans for the future for ATC in EHAA. We’d like to remind you all that our door is always open for feedback or reactions. You can reach out to us via nl-training@ivao.aero

Thanks for reading and see you in the skies!
