Congratulations 🤩

Please join me in congratualting @Alexander Clover in gaining his C1 tonight. Congratulations, and enjoy.

There will be an exam on LON_S_CTR (the blue coloured sector in the image below) on the 24th of April, commencing at 18:30z. The exam is expected to last at least 1 hour and 30 minutes but the exam may end earlier/later, depending on whether the competencies have been sufficiently assessed. A good amount of traffic departing, arriving and transiting though the sector is essential for making the exam a success! Please, no funny business without first speaking to LON_SX_CTR. Pilots wishing to fly to ensure that they are familiar with the pilot guidance for ATC exams. Please wish good luck to the candidate in this post below!

Valid 1100-1800z 20th April 2024 For Cross The Pond Westbound 2024, a split of ScAC North is created, and can be combined with a split of ScAC West.
