It was announced from Washington on 10 November that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is presenting a seminar regarding air traffic control in the general aviation environment. This seminar will be held on 12 December at the NTSB’s Training Center in Ashburn, Virginia. The NTSB has partnered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for this useful and educational seminar.

Attendees will have the rare opportunity to hear from local FAA Air Traffic Controllers, who will discuss policies and procedures which are important for pilots to understand while navigating through one of the most complex and busiest airspace locales in the Washington DC Terminal area. They will also discuss phraseology and communication procedures for pilots to be able to navigate the local airspace with ease.
