In this episode, I begin a new series that will take us through the enroute Academy week by week.
S0, this week I start with week 1 of the enroute academy.
Your first week is all about the basics that you will need for the rest of the course, not just for non-radar. Included in the first week are an airspace lesson, a lesson on using the radios and lines to talk to pilots and other controllers, a lesson on the flight progress strips you will use in non-radar and how to record information on those strips. You finish with a lesson on how to forward information to another controller.
That is the first week. It may not sound like much, but you are also having to learn the airspace map in preparation for the map test that comes up in a couple of weeks.
This begins the balancing act you have to do for the rest of your time in OKC. Concentrate on each lesson, review each lesson, go over each lesson until you know the information inside and out, while also studying for the next test. Not an easy exercise.
Thanks for listening!

Have a great week!
