During the visit they were able to see first hand the environment of aerodrome air traffic controllers and how they work. For students, it was interesting to see the link between the theory and the practical work of air traffic controllers. Aerodrome OJT instructor Stanka Radić explained the students in detail the working equipment of air traffic controllers and how they work during the shift.
