Archie League Awards, October 6, 2019 S8-E4
Since 2004, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) has been recognizing its members for extraordinary performance in turning a potentially bad situation into a "non-event".\xa0 Or as they call it, "A Save".\xa0 Named after the first Air Traffic Controller, The Archie League Medal of Safety awards are announced each September to controllers across the various regions in the US.\xa0 See the link below.\xa0 \xa0 \xa0\xa0
The award winners commonly remark, they were just doing their job.\xa0 While true, no one can argue with the positive results they achieve in the face of impending disaster.\xa0 It's noteworthy that it goes beyond situational awareness and the ability to solve complex problems in the face of a ticking time clock.\xa0 Being able to communicate as a reassuring voice to a distressed pilot cannot be overstated.\xa0 On this week's episode of SimpleFlight Radio, join Marc and Brandon as they listen to multiple replays of the radio transmissions between ATC and pilots. It's no surprise there is plenty to learn from these examples, which leads to an informative discussion between our co-hosts.\xa0
As always, we're interested to have you join the discussion and tell us what you think.\xa0 Please share your thoughts with the rest of the SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community\xa0@simpleflightradio
