Our Pacific cohort who joined us in the Airways Training academy in Christchurch in May have now completed ICAO 051 Licensing Subjects in the classroom, and have moved into the simulator where they have begun ICAO 052 Aerodrome Control.
This is a critical point in training where students start to get a real feeling for sitting in the hot seat. Powered by TotalControl and TrueView graphics, the simulator provides a highly realistic air traffic control environment, bringing the training experience to life.
We love following the progress of our students in the Training Centre. Join us and follow along on this cohortโs journey as they complete ICAO 052 and begin ICAO 053 Approach Control Procedural studies.

๐ A warm congratulations to our latest cohort of air traffic services students who have graduated from the Airways Training academy in Christchurch!
Four students graduated from air traffic control training with us earlier this month, following the graduation of four fellow students who completed flight service training earlier in the year. This cohort of eight started their training with us in March.
The graduated ATC students will now commence their on-job training with Airways New Zealand in units around the country. Our team has loved supporting you through your training journey, and we wish you all the best for your future career!

Weโre delighted to welcome a new cohort of students to the Airways Training Centre!
This intake includes four flight service trainees and four air traffic control trainees, who have now started their ICAO 051 Licensing Subjects training in Christchurch after completing four weeks of self-directed study online. They will be guided by Peter McCrostie as their instructor, as they begin their classroom and practical learning in the sims. We look forward to supporting them throughout their training, and wish them every success with their learning!
