Justin A. Martin Posted December 25, 2008 at 03:13 AM Posted December 25, 2008 at 03:13 AM On Saturday, December 27th, at 1 pm EST, Mr. ED CALLAN will attempt to certify on Potomac Approach, SHD Area (IAD_APP). Come give him the hardest time of your life. Throw VFR, military, and all those in between. Make him work for the rating, and don't let him walk away without having broken a sweat. The OTS will most likely last 1-2 hours. It will start between 12:30 - 1 pm EST and will take place during UVA's Holidays event at ORD. Any and all questions should be directed to Justin Martin at [email protected] Give 'em hell!! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Rutila 974112 Posted December 25, 2008 at 03:50 AM Posted December 25, 2008 at 03:50 AM I'll definitely try to make it! Good luck Ed! If you're as good in Potomac as you are in ZDV, I think you'll do fine (and with Justin as your INS, well, you can't go wrong their either).

Alan Hensley 950569 Posted December 25, 2008 at 09:07 PM Posted December 25, 2008 at 09:07 PM Being that Ed is retired real world ATC, I suspect he will do just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfotunately thats a hard one to accomplish. He's a very fine controller... They say I have ADD. But, they dont understand... Ohh, look!!! A chicken!

Paul Heaney 879309 Posted December 27, 2008 at 12:27 AM Posted December 27, 2008 at 12:27 AM Yes he is, and that's probably why he's able to bounce around like a bunny rabbit, and make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
