Software Installation
Here you can find all the relevant information regarding the software needed for your ATC Training and day to day operations.
You are kindly advised to have all the following Software and their Sectors/Profiles installed to your PC before your first mentoring session. If you are facing any difficulty with the installation it is better to just download the files and install them together with your mentor. It is not mandatory to download the LCCC Sector/vATIS profile as your initial training will be in Greece.
