okay now that im further along in the process I have a ton more questions about the job. Hopig that some of the CPC's and developementals on here could maybe answer a few.
1. I was selected for ZFW I ordered the high(H-6) and low(L-17) altitude enroute maps that cover my center. Are these the right maps or are there additional ones?
2. Looking at both maps ive figured alot out but dont really see what the little triangles mean? they say that they are a "Fix Compulsory and non-compulsory position report" and they give mileages to DME's and VOR's. My wife works in tech ops and she says that they are no phtsical pieces of equipment on the ground. they also have 5 letter indents on them. Anyone know what these are? Could explain a little?
3. Was mentioned to me earlier all that we have to remember in our airspace (Jet Routes, Victor Routes, Navaids, etc). Is there a specific method that you typically use to help memorize this info?
4. I think someone told me that when i go to the ARTCC i will first have to learn the entire airspace then i will be assigned an area. Once assigned to this area does that mean ou stay there or do you eventually learn all of the areas
5. How many aircraft are typically under one persons control?
Well these are just the ones I can think of now, any help would be great. I know i will learn all of this eventually but would like to get to know as much as I can.
