Global ATS & Clifton Aviation Give Students Live Flying Experience

Global ATS is working with Clifton Aviation to provide its trainee air traffic controllers with live flying alongside the standard air traffic training syllabus. This provides Global ATS students with a truly real and immersive experience of the cooperation and communication between controllers and pilots.

Marcus Mimms, Global ATS Managing Director, said “Working with Clifton Aviation to provide our students with flying time provides real value to our students and customers. The approach and care taken by Clifton Aviation is synonymous to the high standards that Global ATS expect from itself. The feedback we have received from our students is excellent and the experience has provided great enthusiasm back in the classroom.”

Mo Nejad, Clifton Aviation Managing Director added “Clifton Aviation is pleased to work with Global ATS to support its air traffic control students with a real flying experience. Clifton Aviation approach students from Global ATS with the same standard provided to our own cadets or experienced pilots. Clifton Aviation ensures that Global ATS students understand more about the communication between pilots and air traffic control which will undoubtedly support the learning and future decision making once qualified.”
