Guest Controller Approval

The Indonesia airspace is vast volume of airspace and is frequented by a large number of regional and international air traffic. The Indonesia Division is always pleased when members from other divisions show a keen interest in performing ATC responsibilities in our airspace.

Since the Indonesia Division is participating in the GCA programme according to R&R 5.1.7, we have laid down a set of guidelines for guest controllers to follow before they can be permitted to control in Indonesia airspace.
